Lyrics
There’s just a little time to play, I know
But he’ll be back to stay some day, although
Chorus
He’s just a fellow on a furlough
Out looking for a dream
The one who’s in his dreams every night
A lonesome fellow on a furlough
In search of company
Somebody who will be his guiding light
Oh, pretty lady, you’ll hear him say
Beautiful lady, are you going my way?
He’s just a fellow on a furlough
Whose hopes have all come true
The girl of his furlough dream is you
Chorus
I’m just a fellow on a furlough
Out looking for a dream
The one who’s in my dreams every night
A lonesome fellow on a furlough
In search of company
Somebody who will be his guiding light
Oh, pretty lady, what do you say
Beautiful lady, are you going my way?
I’m just a fellow on a furlough
Whose hopes have all come true
The girl of my furlough dream is you
