1930, "Nimm Dich in Acht vor blonden Frauen", music by Friedrich Hollaender, lyrics by Richard Rillo (from The Blue Angel):
de Nimm dich in Acht vor blonden Frauen,Sie haben so etwas Gewisses!Ist ihnen nicht gleich anzuschauenAber irgend etwas ist es!Ein kleines Blickgeplänkel sei erlaubt dir,Doch denke immer: Achtung vor dem Raubtier. Watch out for blonde women,They have a certain something!It can't be seen on them immediatelyBut it is something!You're allowed a little skirmish of glances,But always remember, be careful of the predator.
