Lyrics
- I found a picture postal card
While on the street today
A lovesick fellow wrote it
And here’s what he had to say
“I haven’t any sweetheart
So I don’t know what to do
I wish I had a girl to send this to
I won’t put on an address
I won’t put on a name
But still I’m going to send it just the same”
Chorus
To any girl who’s feeling lonesome
To any girl who’s feeling blue
I write these lines today
Here’s what I have to say
I’ve got a lot of loving
That I’d like to give away
To any girl who’ll love me only
To any girl who will be true
But if you have a beau
Is there any girl you know
Who’s not as lucky as you
- He says he wants a girl who sews
And one who also cooks
But then he doesn’t mention
Anything about her looks
The boy is not particular
I think that he’s in wrong
For he’ll take any girl who comes along
He can’t expect an answer
He doesn’t make it plain
I’ll have to read the postal card again
