Lyrics of Personality by Johnny Mercer
verse
When Madame Pompadour was on a ballroom floor
Said all the gentlemen, "Obviously, the madame 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
verse
(What did Romeo see in Juliet?)
(Or Figaro in Figarette?)
(Or Jupiter in Juno?)
You know!
verse
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
verse
(A girl can learn to spell and take dictation well)
(And never sit on the boss' left knee)
(Unless she's got a perfect personality)
verse
(A girl can get somewhere in spite of stringy hair)
(Or even just a bit bowed at the knee)
(If she can show a faultless personality)
verse
Why are certain girls offered certain things
Like sable coats and wedding rings?
By men who wear their spats right?
(That's right!)
verse
(So don't you say I'm smart and have the kindest heart)
(Or what a wonderful sister I'd be)
Just tell me how you like my (ruff!)
Personality)
outro
Baby, you've got the cutest
Personality
Writer(s): Johnny Burke, Van Heusen
