Lyrics:
Just A Girl That Men Forgot [Version (a)]:
Dear little girl, they call you a Vamp
A flapper with up-to-date ways
You may shine brightly but just like a lamp
You'll burn out one of these days
Then your old-fashioned sister will come into view
With a husband and kiddies, but what about you?
You're the kind of a girl that men forget
Just a toy to enjoy for awhile
For when men settle down
They always get an old-fashioned girl
With an old-fashioned smile
And you'll soon realize you're not so wise
When the years bring you tears of regret
When they play "Here Comes The Bride"
You'll stand outside
Just a girl that men forget
Wallflower girl, now dry all those tears
For you won't be left all alone
Some day you'll find yourself upon a throne
Queen of a sweet little home
And you gay little flapper, you'll live and you'll learn
When you've gone down the pathway that has no return
Dear little girl, they call you a Vamp
A flapper with up-to-date ways
You may shine brightly but just like a lamp
You'll burn out one of these days
Then your old-fashioned sister will come into view
With a husband and kiddies, but what about you?
You're the kind of a girl that men forget
Just a toy to enjoy for awhile
For when men settle down
They always get an old-fashioned girl
With an old-fashioned smile
And you'll soon realize you're not so wise
When the years bring you tears of regret
When they play "Here Comes The Bride"
You'll stand outside
Just a girl that men forget
Wallflower girl, now dry all those tears
For you won't be left all alone
Some day you'll find yourself upon a throne
Queen of a sweet little home
And you gay little flapper, you'll live and you'll learn
When you've gone down the pathway that has no return
The Song:
In order for it to feel more authentic, Beck filled out his Song Reader book with fragments of songs and melodies, as well as fictional album collections and song titles. The back of "Saint Dude" lists five such albums, and "Just A Girl That Men Forgot" is included as part of The Manly Family Song Album, and is copyrighted.
Many of the titles on the back of "Saint Dude" are references to older songs/sheet music, and this is too. It is a song from 1923.
