If You Pull a Long Face - Part Iv

IF YOU PULL A LONG FACE - Part IV

IF you pull a long face
Just because no one will you lay
Never you mind the disgrace
Every body's bound day by day to decay

But if you pull a long face
At your own mirror image night or day
Then you have to blame only your face
For pulling a long face for no pay

If you pull a long face
While with your darling you sway
Remember another would her embrace
And likely put her in the family way

Yet if you keep pulling a long face
Your father mindless your mother did lay
Through no fault of your own or race
Put the blame on stars of your birthday

So if you must pull a long face
Every time a girl you want slips away
Don't go chasing legs under loose lace
Turn transvestite change sex or just go gay
