Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- I often wonder and wonder
Just what I really would do
How I would keep from a blunder
If every girlie I knew
Happened to be just like you
I’d be at a loss what to do
Chorus:
If all the girls I knew
Were like you, like you
I would swear to a thousand girls
That I’d be true
I’d gaze in a thousand eyes
I’d sigh a thousand sighs
For I’d be in love with a thousand girls
If they were all like you
If they were all like you
- If they were all fascinating
I wouldn’t know which to choose
I’d set my poor heart debating
Over which one to enthuse
Which one to take or refuse
Which one to gain or to lose
