1
(Too many parties and too many pals may break your heart someday
2
Too many boyfriends and sociable gals may drive your sweetheart away)
3
Gentlemen of the jury the judge's speech began
4
The scene was a crowded courtroom and the judge a stern old man
5
This prisoner here before you is a social enemy
6
A lady of the evening and you know the penalty
7
Her eyes reflect the nightlife her cheeks are red with paint
8
But I knew her mother gentlemen why her mother was a saint
9
Now I know that she's not like her and yet she might have been
10
If it hadn't been for pettin' parties cigarettes gin
11
We took the night life off the streets and brought it in our own homes
12
While girls beguiled with lipstick danced to saxophones
13
We opened up the underworld to the ones we loved so well
14
So tell me gentlemen is it right to send her to a cell
15
If she drinks well you taught her and if she smokes you showed her how
16
So gentlemen do you think it's right to condemn her now
17
And when you're in that juryroom just remember there and then
18
That for every fallen woman there's a hundred fallen men
19
And before you render a verdict on what this girl has done
20
Just remember there's a man to blame and that man might be your son
21
Now gentlemen that's my story my testimony stands
22
This girl is my own daughter and the case is in your hands
23
(Too many parties and too many pals)
