This title is a cover of Personality as made famous by 1940s Standards

When Madame Pompadour was on a ballroom floor
Said all the gentlemen obviously
The Madame has the cutest personality
And think of all the books about DuBarry's looks
What was it made her the toast of Paree
She had a well developed personality
What did Romeo see in Juliet or Pierott in Pierette or Jupiter in Juno you know
And when Salome danced and had the boys entranced
No doubt it must have been easy to see
That she knew how to use her personality
A girl can learn to spell and take dictation well
And never sit on the bosses' settee
Unless you've got a perfect personality
A girl can get somewhere in spite of stringy hair
Or even just a bit bowed at the knee
If she can show a faultless personality
Why are certain girls offered certain things
Like sable coats and wedding rings
By men who wear their spats right that's right
So don't you say I'm smart and have the kindest heart
And what a wonderful sister I'd be
Just tell me how you like my personality
Baby I've got the cutest personality
