No. 9 - Quartett - Wanda, Josette, Prince and Hopkins
Prince: | A girlie shouldn't know too much, |

Hopkins: | No man will fall for Greek and such, |
Prince & Hopkins: | Now will he? |
Wanda & Josette: | How silly! |
Prince & Hopkins: | A girlie needn't be too wise, If she has pretty hair and eyes. |
Wanda & Josette: | But what you know will not desert you. |
Prince & Hopkins: | And what you don't know
will not hurt you! What you don't know... |
Wanda & Josette: | What you don't know... |
Prince & Hopkins: | Won't hurt you, never forget |
Wanda & Josette: | It's what you know makes all the trouble, |
Prince & Hopkins: | What you don't know... |
Wanda & Josette: | What you don't know... |
Prince & Hopkins: | You can't regret. |
Wanda & Josette: | Of course there's really
quite a bit In that, when you consider it. |
Prince & Hopkins: | If you're too wise you're certain to know, |

Wanda & Josette: | How can she? |
Hopkins: | No man would ever make complaint, |
Prince & Hopkins: | Now would he? |
Wanda & Josette: | Why should he? |
Prince & Hopkins: | It doesn't matter
how she speaks, If she has dimples in her cheeks. |

so alluring! What you don't know... |
