Verse:

When I was a boy my mother often said to me,

Get married boy 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.

 

Chorus:

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.

A good old fashioned girl with heart so true,

One who loves nobody else but you.

I want a girl just like the girl,

That married dear old Dad.
