Dorothy Parker - For A Favorite Granddaughter lyrics

Never love a simple lad Guard against a wise Shun a timid youth and sad Hide from haunted eyes Never hold your heart in pain For an evil-doer Never flip it down the lane To a gifted wooer Never love a loving son Nor a sheep astray Gather up your skirts and run From a tender way Never give away a tear Never toss a pine Should you heed my words, my dear You're no blood of mine!
