[Spoken]
No wide-eyed, eager
Wholesome innocent Sunday school teacher for me
That kinda girl spins webs no spider ever--
Now listen, boy--
[Intro]
C Em Am A girl who trades on all that purity E A D Merely wants to trade my independence for her security
[Verse 1]
D The only affirmative she will file G G7 Refers to marching down the aisle C D7 No golden, glorious, gleaming pristine goddess-- No sir! G7 E7 For no Diana do I play faun Am C7 I can tell you that right now
[Chorus]
F Fm C A7 I snarl, I hiss: How can ignorance be compared to bliss? F Fm C A7 I spark, I fizz for the lady who knows what time it is F Fm G#7 G7 C A7 I cheer, I rave for the virtue I'm too late to save D7 G7 C The sadder-but-wiser girl for me!

[Verse 2]
C C7 Am7 D7 No bright-eyed, blushing, breathless baby-doll baby. No sir! F G C F G7 C That kinda child ties knots no sailor ever knew F G7 Am F E Am A7 I prefer to take a chance on a more adult romance D No dewy young miss who keeps resisting, G G7 C All the time she keeps insisting ! C7 D7 No wide-eyed, wholesome innocent female -- No sir! G7 E7 Am C7 Why, she's the fisherman, I'm the fish you see? -- PLOP!
[Chorus]
F Fm C A7 I flinch, I shy, when the lass with the delicate air goes by F Fm C A7 I smile, I grin, when the gal with a touch of sin walks in F Fm G#7 G7 C A7 I hope, and I pray, for a- Hester to win just one more "A" D7 G7 C A7 The sadder-but-wiser girl's the girl for me D7 G7 C The sadder-but-wiser girl for me!
