Thread Name: Lyr Req: something with shirt in title
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: another oldie
and one i have been searching for - for over 55 years...
it is probably a 20/30/40s tune

these are exact lyrics...and i only recall these 2 lines

i know the tune quite well but my CRS Brain won't let me
recall any other lyrics...

a woman can't jump over a fence like a man
'cause she just ain't built that way
and she can't [*strike a match in the dark like a man]
'cause she just ain't built that way.

*an obvious reference to a man striking a match on
the hindmost or side part of his pants leg
