[Pre-Chorus] Back home our girls are models of good behavior You're taught you have to save your charms from the men In school, our girls are taught how to use discretion Each day we have a session from nine to ten We're taught the why and wherefore [Chorus] How and when When you talk Don't talk, just sigh! Get coy! Get shy! That's how to win friends and influence people When you dance Forget your feet! Get close! Get sweet! That's how to win friends and influence people Babes begin with Yah! Yah! Yah! Big girls win with Yah! Yah! Yah! But when you love And find you're caught You'll give no thought To how to win friends and influence people [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus]
