Lyrics
- I’ve had sweeties by the score
Raved a lot of times before
But of all the ones you’ve heard
This one is a real last word
I fell and how! Can’t stop me now
Chorus
She’s got that, she’s got this
Can she hug? Can she kiss?
Oh! boy, what a girl
Want’s me here, wants me there
Wants me near everywhere
Oh! boy, what a girl
Oh gee! other gals are far behind her,
Oh gosh! hope nobody else’ll find her
Ain’t so much what she knows
When she loves, how she goes
Oh! Boy, what a girl
- People wonder why I smile
They can see it for a mile
How can anybody frown
With my baby hangin’ round?
I’ve raved before, I’ll rave some more
Chorus
She’s got that, she’s got this
Can she hug? Can she kiss?
Oh! Boy, what a girl
Not too dumb, not too bright
Not too much appetite
Oh! Boy, what a girl
Oh me! she’s the sweetest hotsy-totsy
Oh my! I can see she knows a lotsy
Very shy on the phone
But when we’re all alone
Oh! Boy, what a girl
