No. 19 - Song - Commodore - "The Girl at the Helm."
Commodore: | Ever since Adam and Eve were young, Woman's ruled the day. Poets her praises have often sung In the roundelay, Taking a hand in affairs of state Since the world began, Leading him on and sealing the fate Of poor unfortunate man. All men should have a guiding star, A girl at the helm That leads them from afar, And then, if she's the proper sort, It's the girl at the helm That steers them into port. |
Chorus: | All men should have a guiding star, A girl at the helm That leads them from afar, And then, if she's the proper sort, It's the girl at the helm That steers them into port. |
Commodore: | Man is a creature that's eas'ly tired In the game of life. And if he never could be inspired, He'd give up the strife. Every one of him must confess When he wins the prize. It is because he has found success In a pair of eyes. All men should have a guiding star, A girl at the helm That leads them from afar, And then, if she's the proper sort, It's the girl at the helm That steers them into port. |
Chorus: | All men should have a guiding star, A girl at the helm That leads them from afar, And then, if she's the proper sort, It's the girl at the helm That steers them into port. |
