Here's the first verse of one of my favorite old curmugeon songwriter's works, and one I can't much sing around the women. I don't know if this is in the Digitrad, but 'totta be!

She's Been After Man Ever Since

by Blind Alfred Reed

God made man in His own image, and all things were going right,
But it seems that man was doomed to sin and toil.
Eve she tasted of the apple, begged till Adam took a bite,
And that put the human family to the wall.
Since man was first beguiled, woman's kept on going wild,
Causing him to get all kinds of punishments.
We may plainly understand, woman was made after man,
And she's been after man ever since!


I don't actually know the rest of it, 'cause it don't gets the chance to sing it much, nor listen to it neither!

How's that?
