You Couldn't Hardly Notice It At All.

Topics: classic

There was a girl in our town Who dearly loved to flirt, But the home folks never noticed it at all. The women in the neighborhood All said she was too pert, But she never even noticed them at all. One night a young man came to call Who was considered slow, But when he got alone with her, He turned the lights down low. He begged her for a little kiss, She softly murmured "No," But you couldn't hardly notice it at all.
