A Well Known Fact

Lyrics

Women, you see, are different from men
 They look marvelous when they're young
 But then, when a woman achieves her matron station
 There begins a certain process of - well
 Deterioration
 Now, just a minute, let me finish
 It's a well known fact
 That a man is more attractive
 The older that he grows
 He's like a late October rose
 He's noticed everywhere he goes
 It's the strangest thing
 But a man is more distinguished
 As time starts sliding by
 Although I really don't know why
 I couldn't change it if I tried
 Unfortunate, maybe
 But changeable, it's not
 Men of forty go to town
 Women go to pot
 It's a well known fact
 That a man is more attractive
 With each passing year
 He gets more and more attractive
 And the girls react
 It's a well known fact
 ♪
 When a man is under twenty-one
 He is not worth a damn
 He thinks that he's a tiger, but
 He's really just a lamb
 He growls, he roars
 He wears his trousers tight
 But he's like that no-good hound of ours
 All bark, no bite
 When a man is under thirty-one
 He's like domestic beer
 He has a certain body
 But he doesn't have it here
 He wheels, he deals
 He doesn't spare expense
 But he's like the national budget
 All bills, no sense
 But when a man is forty-one
 He's entering his prime
 Delightfully witty
 Still he's wise
 For he stood the test of time
 ♪
 It's a well known fact
 That a man is more attractive
 With each passing year
 He gets more and more attractive
 And the girls react
 It's a well known fact
