The sheet music:
Lyrics
1. Down in a nightclub I heard her sing
And oh, what gladness she seemed to bring
To all who heard her there
Only a hostess, that is her name
More like an angel is what I claim
I’ll tell you of her and you’ll love her
REFRAIN
A pal that’s tried and true
Dead on the level, too
She’s everybody’s darling
Just full of wholesome fun
A smile for everyone
She’s everybody’s darling
Most everywhere you’ll hear her praises sung
The sort of girl my mother must have been
When she was young
Respected and revered
To all our hearts endeared
She’s everybody’s darling
2. Night in and night out, she’s bringing cheer
To those who gather from far and near
Only to see her smile
She’s like a sweetheart you can’t forget
Sweeter than any you’ve ever met
You’ll soon discover why they love her
