I'Ll Grant You This

They don't make 'em like this anymore In this age of fast paced life style Cary Grant was the epitome of debonair Gals swooned at his beguiling smile Exuding pure charm from every pore A warmth that invited us in To taste the warmth of his loving heart Revelling in charisma therein All my dear sisters who numbered seven Would've gone ga-ga for a chance For just a moment wrapped in his arms Thrilled in a seductive trance Was surely a different time in the forties Of elegance, of sophistication Gals seemed a lot more feminine then Emitting their sexual vibrations Don't make them like Cary Grant today Now it's raucous rock and roll Flamboyance and flair assures success Instead of inner warmth of the soul
