Lyrics
1. A man’s a flirt the moment that he meets a pretty girl
A slave to rosy cheek, bright eye and captivating curl
No matter where it is they meet
Within four walls or on the street
The man will always try at once to catch her eye
Of course he will, we know he will
And then say, “Come along pretty girl
Pretty girl, come along, come along with me”
I don’t know why today, I’m shy and timid as can be
But I suppose if Mister Right tomorrow I should see
Why I’d run along to the tune of his song
“Come along pretty girl with me”
2. Supposing you were Mister Right, what could you offer me?
You can’t win every little girl with pretty jewelry
For most of us will think true love
Is better than all else above
And that is just the way I’m thinking now today
Of course you are, we know you are
When they say, “Come along pretty girl
Pretty girl, come along, come along with me”
I don’t know why today, I’m shy and timid as can be
But I suppose if Mister Right tomorrow I should see
Why I’d run along to the tune of his song
“Come along pretty girl with me”
