When Madam Pompadour was on a ballroom floor Said all the gentlemen obviously The madam has the cutest personality And think of all the books about Du Barry's looks What was it made her the toast of Paris? She had a well-developed personality What did Romeo see in Juliet? Or Pierrot in Pierrette? Or Jupiter in Juno? You know And when Salome danced And had the boys entranced, no doubt It must have been easy to see That she knew how to use her personality A girl can learn to spell and take dictation well And never sit on the boss's settee Unless she's got a perfect personality A girl can get somewhere in spite of stringy hair Or even just a bit bowed at the knees If she can show a faultless personality Why are certain girls offered certain things Like sable coats and wedding rings? By men who wear their spats right? That's right! So don'tcha say: I'm smart and have the kindest heart Or: What a wonderful sister I'd be Just tell me, how you like my personality! Baby, you've got the cutest personality
