Lyrics
Jack: ''What gives a man ginger and snap? Goin’ through life with his little ol’ lap full of hundreds and hundreds of girls.''

''What gives a man power and punch? Tina for breakfast and Lena for lunch; having hundreds and hundreds of girls.''

''Show him a blonde, and something in his soul will leap to respond. But, then again, he’s also terribly fond of this brunette and so, instead of one dandy dish, pass him the candy dish.''

''I’ll sprinkle spice into his life to make him forget that he’s stuck with his wife. Give him hundreds and hundreds of girls!''

''Beulah and Belle, Gladys and Gert, two for the entrée and three for dessert. Give ‘em hundreds and hundreds of girls.''

Four on a slide, five on a swing, I’m gonna make the cash register ring, having hundreds and hundreds of girls.

''I’ll fill the screen with Jan and Jane and Joan and Janet and Jean. I’ll pull the greatest stunt this business has seen till ev’ry fella from Duluth to Atlanta sees all of his fantasies! Look!''

Girls: 'What gives a man ginger and snap? Goin’ through life with his little ol’ lap full of hundreds and hundreds of girls.'

'What gives a man power and punch? Tina for breakfast and Lena for lunch; having hundreds and hundreds of girls.'

Jack: ''Analysts find this thing called modern man was never designed with only one eternal partner in mind. And so I gotta yell to hell with propriety, viva variety!''

''Sinner or saint, school girl or queen, one girl is boring and two are obscene. Give ‘em hundreds and hundreds of girls!''
