How Can I Keep My Maidenhead chorus: How can I keep my maidenhead, My maidenhead, my maidenhead. How can I keep my maidenhead, Among so many men. The captain give me a guinea for it, The colonel he bid ten. Oh I'll do as my mother did, For silver I'll have none. I'll give it to a bonnie lad, For just as good again. An old mouldy maidenhead, The weary work I know. The stretching of it the striving of it, The boring of it, the riving of it, And oh the double driving of it, The farther you get in. How shall I keep my maidenhead, Among so many men. (Robert Burns) And I can't do without my kitchen man.
