Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
LORELEI
Don't you understand
That I've been true to you, but I'm in demand,
Because gentlemen prefer blondes like me?
GUS
But what am I to do
If they go on preferring you?
LORELEI
They buy me champagne
Because they say that they admire my brain.
Because gentlemen prefer blondes like me.
GUS
Do they discuss romance
Or is the subject high finance?
LORELEI
They'd take me out dancing,
Cross my heart, I wasn't in the mood.
But after all, when they'd call,
I just couldn't be rude.
GUS
Well, baby, I'm resigned
To having you for life, but no peace of mind,
Because gentlemen prefer blondes,
But the only blonde that I prefer is you.
Don't you understand
That I've been true to you, but I'm in demand,
Because gentlemen prefer blondes like me?
GUS
But what am I to do
If they go on preferring you?
LORELEI
They buy me champagne
Because they say that they admire my brain.
Because gentlemen prefer blondes like me.
GUS
Do they discuss romance
Or is the subject high finance?
LORELEI
They'd take me out dancing,
Cross my heart, I wasn't in the mood.
But after all, when they'd call,
I just couldn't be rude.
GUS
Well, baby, I'm resigned
To having you for life, but no peace of mind,
Because gentlemen prefer blondes,
But the only blonde that I prefer is you.
