Thread Name: Updating 'what are little girls made of'
Subject: RE: Updating 'what are little girls made of'
Wow, the original isn't in the Trad! I can't believe it!

OK - here are the rest of the lyrics, sexist yes, but oh so accurate!

(I'm skipping little girls and boys as the above poster has already specified those.)

Young women are made of powder and paint till they look like they ain't
Young men are made of thorns and briars and they're all bad liars
Old women are made of moans and groans and old bags of bones
Old men are made of whisky and brandy and anything that's handy
Little babies are made of milk and honey and a little soft bunny

See why I thought it needed updating?
