"NOT BUILT THAT WAY." A boy will eat and a boy will drink, And a boy will play all day; But a boy won't work and a boy won't think, Because he ain't built that way. A girl will sing and a girl will dance, And a girl will work crochet; But she can't throw a stone and hit a church, Because she ain't built that way. A girl will flirt and a girl will mash, And ne'er give herself away; But she can't strike a match on the seat of her pants, Because she ain't built that way. She may perhaps ride straddle when a young and giddy gal, And cut some naughty caper in her play; But she cannot utilize a sanding urinal, Just because she ain't built that way. 1888, The Stag Party.
