When Madam Pompadour was on a ballroom floor
Said all the gentlemen: Obviously
The madam has the cutest personality

And think of all the books about Du Barry's looks
What was it made her the toast of Paree?
She had a well-developed personality

And what did Romeo see in Juliet?
Or Figaro in Figarette?
Or Jupiter in Juno?
Oh, you know!

And when Salome danced and had the boys entranced
No doubt it must have been easy to see
That she knew how to use her personality

Well, a girl can learn to spell and take dictation well
And never sit on the boss's left knee
Unless she's got a perfect personality

A girl can get somewhere in spite of stringy hair
Or even just a bit bowed at the knee
Especially If she can show a faultless personality

And why are certain girls offered certain things
Like sable coats and wedding rings?
By men who wear their spats right?
(That's right!)

So don'tcha say, I'm smart and have the kindest heart
Or, what a wonderful sister I'd be
Just tell me how you like my
My personality

Just tell me how you like my
My personality
