Plagiarism query

[Dgillila <Dgillila@AOL.COM>]

Greetings,

We are working on a problem concerning suspected plagiarism.  A student has
submitted a poem entitled "Understanding Women".  The teacher suspects that it
is someone else's work (poet or lyricist).  The first lines are:

If you kiss her, you are not a gentleman,
If you don't, you are not a man,
If you praise her, she thinks you are lying,
If you don't you're good for nothing.
etc
etc.
(Last line)
Oh Lord, Tell me what to do! Amen!

There is a possibility the title has been changed.  Elton John has a song by
this title....not the same words.  We have also checked Poem Finder and
Grangers.  The teacher claims to have spent _hours_ searching on the internet
for it.

Does this ring a bell with anybody?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I
need to respond to the teacher by Friday May 8.  Thanks!!
