Everybody hates 1900 to 1930

I have started a new channel to help get myself out of the youTube purgatory that all channels in this community have been in since 2016 or so. I would kindly request you subscribe to me there. I don't post much there for now. However, the new channel will continue the work I am doing here. Once it gains 1k subs there, I will be retiring my efforts on this channel:

[Intro]
So ya wanna be sheik, do ya?
Having trouble sorting out the vamps from the tomatoes
At the local speakeasy, looking for that one sheba
To be your squeeze, are ya?

[Verse 1]
Well applesauce, I got good news for you, fine fella
Turn a no-good lollygaggin’ dewdropper into a flaming youth
Catching eyes of every flapper this side of skid row
With my advice, stop shaking hands with the milkman
Get on the road making whoopee, lickity split

See here, if you don’t know your onions on dolls
You’ll end up with a dame who skates around
Using her gams to make clams, and that’s not ducky
That’s not ducky at all, no, that’s not ducky

[Chorus]
First things first, make some smackeroos
Get wheels, spiffy rags, put on the ritz too
A couple clams, a belly full of shine
And your night might turn the cat’s meow tonight
[Female Harmonies]
Tonight, tonight
The cat’s meow tonight

[Verse 2]
Don’t be a chump hunting squeezes at a petting party
You’ll wind up holding the torch, broke and sorry
Those vamps give the up-and-down, get you dizzy on ’em
Lickity split, no dough, no dame, no problem? No!
You’re hawking hot cheaters for ritzy joints
Or visiting shylocks, paying off the points
Nix on petting parties, nix on ragamuffins
And especially nix on flappers, hear me, cousin

[Verse 3]
Gotta be wise to flappers, kid, keep it on the wire
Never met one who wasn’t a vamp with a little fire
Bobbed hair, skirts short, dancing the Charleston
To hot jazz, making every old sport cautious
Since skirts got the vote, they think they own the place
Can’t pipe down, always talking in your face
In a hundred years, this malarkey might seem absurd
We got the wrong number, that’s my final word

[Chorus]
Know your onions, kid, don’t lose your dough
Keep your eyes peeled everywhere you go
No petting-party trap, no ragamuffin show
If you want the bee’s knees, you gotta know the code
[Female Harmonies]
Know the code, know the code
You gotta know the code

[Verse 4]
Don’t be a drugstore cowboy, promising a call
Telling street skirts you’ll call on ’em gives ’em heebie-jeebies
Unless the doll is half-seas-over on giggle juice
But that sort of dame is just alley whoopee, no use
While some bindle stiff watches, that’s a bad scene
You want a speakeasy, polished and clean
Fifth Avenue, red door by the Jitney-Jungle
Say, “Being a blue nose is blat,” and don’t mumble

[Verse 5]
Savvy? Savvy. But watch who you up-and-down
Set your peepers on a goon’s squeeze, you’ll get your button pushed down
Still, believe me, the joint is the bee’s knees
Quiet as a mouse, keeping out the heat with ease
See a broad you like, drop a clam on the shine
Tell her you’re old sport with Charlie Chaplin, you’ll be fine
Broads are bunny, they’ll believe anything
Give her a swell slap, hear the telephone ring
If she looks twenty, say her face is a picture
A couple more toots and the night gets richer
Little chin music, sharing one bottle
Then split that joint, take her to the Talkies—full throttle

[Chorus]
Know your onions, kid, don’t lose your dough
Keep your eyes peeled everywhere you go
No petting-party trap, no ragamuffin show
If you want the bee’s knees, you gotta know the code
[Female Harmonies]
Know the code, know the code
You gotta know the code

[Outro]
Duck soup, kid, duck soup
Now I gotta go see a man about a dog
Keep your hat on, keep your wits sharp
And don’t get caught holding the torch, sport
