The Dumber They Come
Eddie Cantor
I may look simple but I want you to know
I've been to college, I'm full of knowledge
I'm right at home with brainy men and them my wisdom I show
But when there's clever girls around I get up and go
Those educated babies are a bore
I'm gonna say what I said many times before
Oh, the dumber they come, the better I like 'em
'Cause the dumb ones know how to make love
A wisenheimer has you meet her folks when you call
The brainless baby always keeps you down in the hall
Oh, the dumbbells I've met have won beauty prizes
They look like angels sent from above
The clever girl will want to know if you mean to wed
The dumb ones never think of looking that far ahead
That's why the dumber they come, the better I like 'em
'Cause the dumb ones know how to make love
Oh, the dumber they come, the better I like 'em
'Cause the dumb ones know how to make love
The smart girl's speaking greek and other languages too
But the dumb girl's only language is: Who's poochy poochy is you?
Oh, the dumbbells I've met have won beauty prizes
They look like angels sent from above
You start by squeezing clever girls, you're soon on the shelf
But when you're with dumb doris you can just be yourself
That's why the dumber they come, the better I like 'em
'Cause the dumb ones know how to make love
