Miss Dolly was a dancer
She was famous for her fan
She worked at Ziegfeld's Follies
Where she kicked up a can-can.
As she performed one evening
In walked Mr. Big
He took one look at Dolly
Said, "That girl has a new gig!"
"I want her for my honey,
I want her for my squeeze,"
His offer to Miss Dolly
Was not one at which to sneeze.
Miss Dolly was not haughty
And she could have used the dough
But she still rebuffed his offer
Said, "I must simply tell you 'No.'"
Mr. Big could not believe it
No one ever turned him down
This dancer would not make him
A big joke around this town!
He roughly kissed Miss Dolly
But on her face felt something weird
Underneath her make-up
Was the stubble from her beard!
Mr. Big was not so big then
He'd need a new game plan
Miss Dolly was his folly
Because Miss Dolly was a man!

Great flow to this, I met Miss Dolly in the womens washroom in University once. I think she's a Drama prof now.
Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha. Wow, that was great! Caught me by surprise. I wonder what Homonally Challenged would say about this hormone confusion?

Marvelous twist, Lola. Go see Peter Goulding's. Your great minds think aike.
Hi Lola, As I recall, my Great Uncle Wilf used to go under the stage name Dolly. Great rhythm well-maintained throughout. Mine pales in comparison. Loved it!

Lovely rhyme and rhythm, so redolent of the age, and yes, a great revealing!
