IF IT AIN'T ONE MAN
From the film "Sensation Hunters" (1933)
(Bernie Grossman / C. Harold Lewis)
Arline Judge (Film Soundtrack) - 1933
There's a gal named St. Louis Lou
Just a pal who knows what to do
And the latest that I'm telling to you
If it ain't one man, it's another
Kinda shady, slender and round
Just a lady who's been around
She ain't got an enemy in the town
If it ain't one man, it's another
Undertaker, face long and fat
Tried to shake her, that made her mad
Ain't been gotten, but he's gonna be had
If it ain't one man, it's another
Round the World, that gal made a swing
She got famous doin' that thing
When in Siam, the Queen was hidin' the King
If it ain't one man, it's another
Traveled ev'ry land, ev'ry clime
She told Gandhi, when in his prime
"Dark and handsome, come up and see me sometime"
If it ain't one man, it's another
On her tombstone, St. Louis Lou
Wanted written, "She wasn't through,
Gone to Hades to give the Devil his due"
If it ain't one man, it's another
