Lyrics
- Without a doubt you’ve heard about
The dif’rent kinds of girls
The Gibson girl, the Brinkley Girl
With all her funny curls
In other days we used to praise
The country girl so shy
The bowry girl, the fencing girl
They all would catch our eye
Of all that I have seen
The one that is my Queen
Is the Futurist Girl of today
Refrain
Futurist Girl, I’m crazy over you
If don’t care if your hair is green or blue
Funny clothes from head to toes
You disclose, Oh, goodness knows
You have set my poor little brain in a whirl
There’s something about you that appeals to me
And in ev’ry dream you always seem to be
We’ll have a Futuristic Honeymoon
In a cubist house just built to spoon
If you’ll only be my Futurist Girl
- Where e’re you go, this girl you’ll know
Her style is all her own
With stately grace and pretty face
For class she stands alone
And if perchance you see her dance
Her charms you can’t resist
No other girl like her can twirl
The latest tango twist
Now I have seen them all
And I cannot recall
Any other girl quite so divine
