Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Because She Ain't Built That Way
"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.
