Can You Tame Wild Wimmen
Composer(s): Andrew B. Sterling - Harry Von Tilzer
Performer(s): Barbelle



When the circus came to town 
Jay Augustus Henpeck Brown bought himself a ticket to the show 
Passed by all the acrobats
all the clowns in funny hats went to see the animals below 
saw a "tamer" put his head into a lion's mouth 
waited till the "tamer man" was through 
shook his hand and said "at taming wild one's you're a bird 
but just one thing I'd like to ask of you"

Jay Augustus Henpeck Brown gave the crowd the up and down 
saw a woman edging t'ward the cage 
there she is he yelled in fright, there she is 
she's wild all right, wilder than a tiger in a rage
Mister "Tamer" man he whispered in a trembling voice 
tell me did you ever have a wife 
you can tame the wildest beast I know 
but listen please, there's only one thing now can save my life

Can you tame wild wimmen? 
Can you tame wild wimmen? 
You made a tiger stand and eat out of your hand 
you made the hippo do the flippo, honest it was grand 
but can you tame wild wimmen 
so they'll always lead a sweet and simple life? 
with a wild ferocious glance that pierced him like a lance 
you made the grizzly bear get up and do the "Hula dance" 
but can you tame wild wimmen? 
if you can please, tame my wife
