Lyrics
- It’s mighty hard to find a sweetheart
Someone who’s different from the rest
And when I’m talking of a sweetheart
I mean someone who’ll stand the test
They are so few and far between
They’re not like you, here’s what I mean
Chorus
When my pals turned me down
You’re the one pal I found
You’re a real sweetheart
When my darkest day came
You smiled on just the same
You’re a real sweetheart
Now that I find fate has been kind
I’ll build you a love nest
That’s all silver lined
And I’ll work and I’ll slave
For the things that you crave
You’re a real sweetheart
- Most ev’rybody needs a few friends
No one on earth can stand alone
But what we need is tried and true friends
Whom we can call our very own
You are my friend, my pal, what’s more
You are the sweetheart I live for
