Try Again
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Take a hammer and take a club
And then go out to look for love
The women on earth can be so dumb
But boy, those girls can really run
So, set a snare and mend your net
They will be slippery when they’re wet
You’re looking for another wife
But watch out or she’ll take your life
You love the chase and love to hunt
And you think she has all you want
She looks so good and tastes so sweet
But oooh that smell, no that’s my feet
Treat her right and love her too
Then she might fall in love with you
