Lament Of An Urban Virgin

From The Beat Goes On

Segment Four

The Comedians


By

Yvonne Fitzner
Class of 1960
I think it's a pity
That in this great city
A girl must be witty to go out with men
For should they discover
That she's had no lover
Or lives with her mother, they won't call again
Oh, they won't call again

A young man, to start with
Will cause much disheart'ment
While at his apartment his hands, they do roam
The rest of the evening
Will find you both grieving
While he's not believing your wish to go home
Oh, your wish to go home



They'll wine you and dine you
And want a good time, too
But if you decline to give in it's a waste
I deplore such coercion
For love's no diversion
And I'm just a virgin who wants to stay chaste
Oh, who wants to stay chaste

Now, Tom, Dick and Harry
And Charlie, and Larry
Would rather not marry while they can have fun
And so I'm still waiting
And hoping, and dating...
It's getting frustrating as I'm ninety-one
Oh, as I'm ninety one
