American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Just to Please the Boys. 
Some people have peculiar ways And I have some I know, I don't like swell society. Restraint I cannot go. I've done And will do as I please, Keep still or make a noise, I love to please the ladies, but, Prefer to please the boys. 
Spoken-Oh! well, ladies never appear perfect in each other's eyes; there's always some little fault, whether caused by envy, jealousy or otherwise. So, on this occasion I waive female opinion And intend-Chorus. Just to please the boys, Just to please the boys, I always meant with good intent, To try and please the boys. 
I love to sing, to sail and race, I love to skate and dance, I love all social parties Where they give a girl a chance. My lady friends find fault because They cannot share my joys, And tell me I'm too forward when I try to please the boys. 
Spoken-Yes, whenever I try to entertain the gentlemen, I hear such exclamations as these: "Ain't she awful?" "How exceedingly fresh!" " She will never catch a sensible husband." And all this because I try-Chorus. 
Some people call me fickle, Just because I change my beau, And don't keep one man to myself, And let all others go. Now that I think would be unkind, For no one more enjoys, To give good looking men a chance, And try and please the boys. 
Spoken-Lord! I'm not fickle; I do like one man. The other evening a gentleman kissed me just because I let him. He repeated the act and then wanted an encore. I refused. He said, "Ella, they all do it." He didn't mean me, I have a few kisses left, and when I distribute them it will be-Chorus.
