Lyrics
Will you permit me to say
I’m dying to pet you
Never to let you go
Altho’ you’re very blase
There’s none to excel you
I love to tell you so
Chorus
A little bit independent in your walk
A little bit independent in your talk
There’s nothing like you in Paris or New York
You’re awf’ly easy on the eyes
A little bit independent when we dance
A little bit independent t’wards romance
A bit of sophistication in your glance
And yet you’re easy on the eyes
Whenever I’m with you alone
You weave a magic spell
And tho’ it be a danger zone
I only know that you’re swell
A little bit independent with your smile
A little bit independent in your style
But how can I help but love you all the while
When you’re so easy on the eyes
