WHY DO SHORT MEN LIKE TALL GIRLS?
(Reginald Tabbush)


The Two Gilberts - 1926
Stan Greening & The Raymond Dance Band - 1926
The Denza Dance Band - 1926



See those merry couples dancing 'round the hall tonight
Short ones, tall ones, fat ones, small ones, whirling with delight
While the band is playing, they are swaying to and fro
But I wonder, who can tell me what I want to know

Why do short men like tall girls and tall girls like short men
Why does six foot want to dance with little four foot ten
You never see a bumble bee with an elephant hand-in-hand
So why do short men like tall girls, I just can't understand

(Instrumental Break)

Why do short men like tall girls and tall girls like short men
Why does six foot want to dance with little four foot ten
You never see a bumble bee with an elephant hand-in-hand
So why do short men like tall girls, I just don't understand
