YOU CANT STOP HER.
copyright, 1893, by Frank Tousey.
Written by George Horncastle.
Composed by Felix McGlennon.
'Tis wonderful what any woman will do
When once she has made up her mind,
Now I am a woman, so I know it's true,
For I've often made up my mind.
For instance, when she is a little put out,
No matter if aged or young,
Yon'll very soon find if she's made up her mind,
She'll give you the length of her tongue-And-
Chorus.
You can't stop her; don't you think you can;
You can't stop her, or any other man,
When she's made up her mind,
You will very quickly find
That you can't stop her, tho' you try.
A woman will make up with powder and paint.
When once she has made up her mind;
And pad here and there in a style very quaint
When once she has made up her mind.
She either may dress in a very neat way,
Wear prim Quaker bonnet and shawl,
Or else she'll declare that she'll go on the stage,
And wear next to nothing at all-and- Chorus.
A wife will be master and mistress as well
When once she has made up her mind;
Her poor hubby's spirit she quickly will quell
When once she has made up her mind.
She'll take all his money, make him nurse the kids,
And wait on his ma-in-law, too:
And then, with a neat kitchen poker in hand,
Will beat him till he's black and blue-And- Chorus.
