Lyrics
If I don’t see her each day I miss her
Gee! what a thrill each time I kiss her
Believe me I’ve got a case
On Nancy with the laughing face
She takes the winter and makes it summer
Summer could take some lessons from her
Picture a tomboy in lace
That’s Nancy with the laughing face
Do you ever hear mission bells ringing?
Well, she’ll give you the very same glow
When she speaks you would think it was singing
Just hear her say “Hello”
I swear to goodness you can’t resist her
Sorry for you she has no sister
No one could ever replace
My Nancy with the laughing face
If I don’t see her each day I miss her
Gee! what a thrill each time I kiss her
Believe me I’ve got a case
On Nancy with the laughing face
She takes the winter and makes it summer
Summer could take some lessons from her
Picture a tomboy in lace
That’s Nancy with the laughing face
What a wonderful treat to come home to
When the long day has drawn to a close
There’s the patter of feet to come home to
And Nancy gave me those
Keep Betty Grable, Lamour, and Turner
She makes my heart a charcoal burner
No one could ever replace
My Nancy with the laughing face
