When I was a boy my mother often said to me
Get married son and see how happy you will be
I have looked all over, but no girlie can I find,
Who seems to be just like the little girl I have in mind,
I will have to look around until the right one I have found.

I want a girl, just like the girl that married dear old Dad
She was a pearl and the only girl that Daddy ever had,
good old fashioned girl with heart so [bad word] 
One who loves nobody else but you,
I want a girl, just like the girl that married dear old Dad.
