When I was boy my mother often said to me

Get married boy and see how happy you will be

I have looked all over but no girly can I find

Who seems to be just like the little

Girl I have in mind

I will have to look around

Until the right one I have found

I want a girl just like the girl

That married dear old Dad

She was a pearl and the only girl

That Daddy ever had

A good old-fashioned girl

With heart so true

One that who loves nobody else but you

I want a girl just like the girl

That married dear old Dad

I want a girl just like the girl

That married dear old Dad

She was a pearl and the only girl

That Daddy ever had

A good old-fashioned girl

With heart so true

One that who loves nobody else but you

I want a girl just like the girl

That married dear old Dad
