This version by Lee Wiley (vocals) & Bunny Berigan (trumpet) was missing from youtube, so I put it here. It's the best to me. The song was written by Cole Porter.

Enjoy the oldies while you still can ;)

Anyway I saw on the web that there is another version of this song with some lyrics in french, does somebody know where can I find it ?

Now, before this modern idea had burst

About the women and children first,

The men had much more charm than they have today.

And if only one of that type survived,

The very moment that he arrived,

I know I'd fall in love in a great big way.

I can't imagine being bad

With any Arrow collar ad,

Nor could I take the slightest joy

In waking up a college boy.

I've no desire to be alone

With Rudy Vallee's megaphone,

So when I'm saying my prayers, I say:

Find me a primitive man,

Built on a primitive plan.

Someone with vigor and vim.

I don't mean a kind that belongs to a club,

But the kind that has a club that belongs to him.

I could be the personal slave

Of someone just out of a cave.

The only man who'll ever win me

Has gotta wake up the gypsy in me,

Find me a primitive man,

Find me a primitive man.

I could be the personal slave

Of someone just out of a cave.

The only man who'll ever win me

Has gotta wake up the gypsy in me,

Find me a primitive man,

Find me a primitive man.

Find me a primitive man.

A performance like this from that era would be THE epitome for a James Bond theme or for a Humphrey Bogart movie.
