Mae West


I got a book the other day 
And it thrilled me from head to toe 
But this book is made to order 
It's what ever girl should know so... I put away my knitting 
To read it in a sitting 
The mailman had told me 
The book wouldn't hold me 
Until page fifty four 
The papers seemed to thicken 
My reading seemed to quicken 
My thumb was burning 
From turning the pages 
Until page fifty four I found fifty so nifty 
Fifty one was a treat to the eye 
I know the score by fifty four 
And then watch the pages fly by 
Though amber is the fashion 
This book aroused my passion 
It thrilled me and chilled me 
The suspense darn near killed me 
Until page fifty four I've read books about history 
From King Arthur to Wittington's cat Of Caesar's grasp on Cleo's arm 
Though I can talk plainer than that I'm right on fifty four now 
There is no more to know now 
But alas and alack 
The book went back 
And I got no luck 
Cause I got the wrong catalog from Sears Robuck
