Lyrics
1. Though I’ve never taken a wife
I’ve been in love with girls all my life
Girlies short or tall, I just love them all
And I can’t deny
That whether they are brunette or blonde
Of each one I am equally fond
But at last I’m through and it makes me blue
To say goodbye
Chorus:
Oh, you wonderful, oh, you beautiful
Oh, you lovable girls
How I long to kiss you
Gee! I’m going to miss you awfully
Oh, you huggable, oh, you squeezable
You mysterious girls! I love you
That’s why I’m going away, today
A thousand eyes are going to taunt me
When I try to stay away
A thousand lips are going to haunt me
Saying, “You made me love you
You made me love you”
Oh, you wonderful, oh, you beautiful
Oh, you lovable girls, I bid you all goodbye
2. There is something I can’t forget
About each girl that I’ve ever met
A divine romance, a kiss, or a glance
A laugh or a sigh
But if a fellow can’t ever fall
Tell me is this life worth living at all
But I can’t be true to brown eyes and blue
And so goodbye
