Lyrics
- Listen people while I sing
Itʼs a most peculiar thing
The way I fell in love
Didnʼt need a shove
A certain someone I love best
Treats me different from the rest
Chorus
Itʼs not an ordinary gal that I love
ʻCause she was sent to me from heaven above
Iʼm never blue as long as Iʼm thinking of
My Extraordinary Gal
She means the world and all to me, that is true
If she should ever leave me, Iʼd be so blue
Thereʼs no one else can give me love that is new
My Extraordinary Gal.
Sheʼs got a lot of some thinʼ I crave
In her dreamy eyes
Iʼll tell the world Iʼm only her slave
How I idolize her personality
When clouds are heavy thatʼs the time that she sings
She donʼt want pretty clothes or big diamond rings
She wants a cottage full of cute little things
My Extraordinary Gal
- It was sure a lucky day
When my sweetie came my way
I knew right at a glance
This was real romance
You cannot blame me if I boast
Of the one I love the most
