Verse:

I have an ear for music,  And I have an eye for a maid.
I like a pretty girlie,  With each pretty tune that's played.

They go together, like sunny weather,  Goes with the month of May.

I've studied girls and music,  So I'm qualified to say:

 

Chorus:

A pretty girl is like a melody,

That haunts you night and day.
Just like the strain of a haunting refrain,

She'll start upon a marathon, And run around your brain,

You can't escape she's in your memory,

By morning, night and noon,

She will leave you and then come back again,

A pretty girl is just like a pretty tune.
