Lyrics
- There’s a girl, there’s a girl
Has the old men wishin’ for new ambition
Ev’ry time they see her passin’ along
What a girl! what a girl!
She’s a real live petter, a sweetheart getter
When I tell you I’m not tellin’ you wrong
Chorus
Has she lips that the boys adore?
Does she know what she’s got ’em for?
Oh, you have no idea
Has she eyes that are full of love?
Do they show what she’s thinkin’ of?
Oh, you have no idea
She’s got that what-sie, what-sie, what
What folks can’t explain
And say that what-sie, what-sie, what
Would make young Lindbergh burn his plane
Does she step when you take her out?
Does she know what its all about?
Oh, you have no idea
- There she goes, there she goes
Any time she passes, get out your glasses
‘Cause you’re bound to see the class of the town
Never late for a date
Brother you can bet it , and don’t forget it
She picks who she wants and turns the rest down
Chorus
Does she make all the college boys
Spend their room rent to buy her toys?
Oh, you have no idea
Does she vamp all the frosh and sophs
Juniors, seniors and even profs?
Oh, you have no idea
She’s got a lot of lovin’ charms
Say she is a dream
And with that lot of lovin’ charms
She’d wreck the Princeton football team
Can she vamp any full grown male?
Could she make Harvard cheer for Yale?
Oh, you have no idea
