Try Again

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)



Take a hammer and take a club
And then go out to look for love

The women on earth can be so dumb
But boy, those girls can really run

So, set a snare and mend your net
They will be slippery when they’re wet

You’re looking for another wife
But watch out or she’ll take your life

You love the chase and love to hunt
And you think she has all you want

She looks so good and tastes so sweet
But oooh that smell, no that’s my feet

Treat her right and love her too
Then she might fall in love with you
