1
Too many parties and too many pals
2
Will break your heart someday
3
Too many boyfriends and sociable sals
4
May drive your sweetheart away
5
Gentlemen of the jury
6
The judge's speech began
7
The scene was a crowded courtroom
8
And the judge a stern old man
9
This prisoner here before you
10
Is a social enemy
11
A lady of the evening
12
And you know the penalty
13
Her eyes reflect the nightlife
14
Her cheeks they're red with paint
15
But I knew her mother, gentlemen
16
Why her mother was a saint
17
Now I know that she's not like her
18
And yet she might have been
19
If it hadn't been for pettin' parties cigarettes and gin
20
We took the night life off the streets
21
And brought it in our own homes
22
While girls beguiled with lipstick
23
Danced to saxophones
24
We opened up the underworld
25
To the ones we loved so well
26
So tell me gentlemen is it right
27
To send her to a cell?
28
If she drinks while you taught her
29
And if she smokes you showed her how
30
So gentlemen do you think it's right
31
To condemn her now
32
And when you're in that jury room
33
Just remember there and then
34
That for every fallen woman
35
There's a hundred fallen men
36
And before you render a verdict
37
On what this girl has done
38
Just remember there's a man to blame
39
And that man might be your son
40
Now gentlemen that's my story
41
My testimony stands
42
This girl is my own daughter
43
And the case is in your hands
44
Those Broadway roses and prevalent
45
Sounds at too many parties and too many pals
