I'm Going to Find a Girl
[Verse]
- (OLLIE.) I want the sort of wife
- Who'll lead a calm, domestic life.
- (BUB.) For me that kind of dame,
- Would be a lot too tame.
- I want to find a girl
- Who'll help me buck the social whirl.
- (STUB.) While I prefer the sort,
- Who's fond of outdoor sport.
- Our tastes, you see, do not agree,
- But one thing you can take from me
[Chorus]
- (All.) That I am going to find a girl some day,
- If I have to hunt till I am gray
- Yes, if you stick around a while,
- You'll see me walking down the aisle
- With the little missus.
- She may be a blonde or a brunette:
- I've not settled all the details yet
- (STUB.) This is all I want to say,
- (BUB.) Some fine day
- (OLLIE.) Come what may,
- (All.) I am going to find a girl you bet.
[Verse]
- (OLLIE.) The girl I have in mind
- I know it will be hard to find
- (BUB.) And none that I can see
- Has zip enough for me.
- I'm pretty hard to suit
- She must have style and be a beaut.
- (STUB.) We'll track her down in time,
- Then oh! that wedding chime
- Though cruel Fate may make us wait!
- We're sure to find her soon or late.
[Chorus]
- (All.) Yes, I am going to find a girl some day,
- If I have to hunt till I am gray
- Yes, if you stick around a while,
- You'll see me walking down the aisle
- With the little missus.
- She may be a blonde or a brunette:
- I've not settled all the details yet
- (STUB.) This is all I want to say,
- (BUB.) Some fine day
- (OLLIE.) Come what may,
- (All.) I am going to find a girl you bet.
