When a Girl says “No.”

When a girl says "Yes," There's a quick caress, A kiss, a sigh, A melting eye. There's a vision of things That hard cash brings,— A winter at Nice With a servant apiece, A long yachting cruise, Name in "personal news," Plenty of wine, Two hours to dine; But it's different quite when a girl says "No."

When a girl says "No," It's so different, oh! No kiss, ten sighs, Two tear-dimmed eyes. There's a vision of things That poverty brings,— A winter complete On Uneasy Street, A temptation to rob, A twelve-dollar job, A boarding-house meal, And you pray a new deal; For it's different quite when a girl says "No."
