What Magic Word Has One To Say

What Magic Word Has One To Say

What magic word has one to say

To perk a woman’s interest?

A chum of mine asked yesterday—

I dunno—what’d’y’ suggest?

(I asked because I couldn’t guess)

So that he answered in reply,

That’s simple, for it’s nothing less

Than saying to the lady: hi!

So seeing that is what he thought

By going over what he said,

And if not that, I wondered, what

Formula it ’d be instead?

Since after all’s been said and done,

If I consider what’s at stake,

Fair woman’s heart was never won

Without risking any mistake.
