Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
Sharks gotta swim, and bats gotta fly
I gotta love one woman till I die
To Ed or Dick or Bob
She may be just a slob
But to me, well, she’s my girl
In winter, the bedroom is one large ice cube
And she squeezes the toothpaste
From the middle of the tube!
Her hairs in the sink
Have driven me to drink
But she’s my girl, she’s my girl
She’s my girl and I love her
The girl that I lament for
The girl my money’s spent for
The girl my back is bent for
The girl I owe the rent for
The girl I gave up Lent for
Is the girl that heaven meant for me
So though for breakfast
She makes coffee
That tastes like sham–poo
I come home for dinner
And get peanut butter stew
Or, if I’m in luck
It’s broiled hockey puck
But, oh well, what the hell?
She’s my girl and I love her
