quote: "The Boy in the Boat" (1930): "When you see two women walking hand in hand, / just look 'em over and try to understand: / They'll go to those parties--have the lights down low--/ Only those parties where women can go. / You think I'm lying--just ask Tack Ann- / Took many a broad from many a man."
