Strike Another Match
From the Musical Show "Wedding In Paris" (1954)
Composer(s): Hans May - Sonny Miller
Performer(s): Anton Walbrook



I have tried to use a modicum of philosophy
With the ladies who've considered me quite a catch
For I've always learned before you burn your fingers
Strike another match!

When I had a funny feeling that I was weakening
And I thought I might be softening in the thatch
I recall I learned before you burn your fingers
Strike another match!

The women are the hunters now 
And men their lawful prey
But I'm the one that took the bait 
And always got away

I'll admit I've had to struggle to keep my sanity
When they dimmed the light and quietly slid the latch
But I've always learned before you burn your fingers
Light another match!
