by Jerome Kern

“ Why judge a guy by his clothes? For after all, He dresses just as well as he is able. Treat with suspicion ginks who've got the soup and fish on, For too often they play a villains part. And rags are royal raiment when they're worn for virtue's sake; And a sweater may conceal an honest heart. ”

“ Don't go preferring ginks that ain't got nothing stirring, For good looks are too often but a screen. A handsome face may lie beneath a head that's made of bone, And a homely mug may hide a clever bean. ”

“ It's awful to have handed a good man the icy No; But I must tell you candid that you haven't got a show: The sort I like are dressy men, who look refined and swell, A well pressed pair of pants affects me more than tongue can tell (Mac G.) I'm not the kind of specimen for which you've always fell. ”
