악곡 해설

(Verse 1) Oh all of you poor single men Don't ever give up in despair For there's always a chance while there's life To capture the hearts of the fair No matter what may be your age You always may cut a fine dash You will suit all the girls to a hair If you've only got a moustache A moustache, a moustache If you've only got a moustache (Verse 2) No matter for manners or style No matter for birth or for fame All those used to have something to do With young ladies changing their name There's no reason now to despond Or go and do anything rash For you'll do though you can't raise a cent If you'll only raise a moustache A moustache, a moustache If you'll only raise a moustache (Verse 3) Your head may be thick as a block And empty as any football Oh your eyes may be green as the grass Your heart just as hard as a wall Yet take the advice that I give You'll soon gain affection and cash And will be all the rage with the girls If you'll only get a moustache A moustache, a moustache If you'll only get a moustache
