lyrics

Girl and boy, both age two
What's the difference between the two?
Is the thing already set
Or is it to be learned yet?

Girl and boy pullin' doggy's tail
Poor little puppy starts to wail
Girl says stop, he don't like it
Boy keeps pullin' 'til he gets bit

Boys can't be trusted

Man and boy, age 22
What's the difference between the two?
One don't lie because he loves
One don't care but says he does

Scientists have the cure
To stop babies before they grow
One for girls, one for boys
Guess who gets to make the choice?

Boys can't be trusted
