Oh, the dumber they come, the better I like 'em,
'Cause the dumb ones know how to make love.
The smart girl's speaking Greek and other languages too,
But the dumb girl's only language is, whose poochy-poochy is you?
Oh, the saps that I've met have won beauty prizes.
They look like angels sent from above.
You start as squeezing clever girls, you're soon on the shelf,
But when you're with dumb Doris you can just be yourself.
Oh, the dumber they come, the better I like 'em,
'Cause the dumb ones know how to make love.
Eddie Cantor

And the next day out he repeated the same thing and says: "Ohh!" And when he did it the third day, I went over to him—I said, "Mister, please excuse me for butting in, but I want to help you. Tell me, why—why do you keep moaning like that?" He says "Oh, it's already the third day I'm on the wrong train. Agh!"
Well, I think I'll sing again now. It won't hurt. Mr. Olsen, again, won't you play a little something for Eddie?
Song: "Oh, Gee, Georgie" ()
Eddie Cantor
Georgie Porgie is a guy who is very bashful and so shy,
The ladies prize him,
They idolize him.
