Personality
Johnny Mercer

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
What did Romeo see in Juliet?
Or Figaro in Figarette?
Or Jupiter in Juno?
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

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
If she can show a faultless
Personality
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
Personality?
Baby, you've got the cutest
