Lyrics
- I know a boy who is crazy about
A certain pet
It’s two years since they’ve met
And he hasn’t got her yet
This little girl that he’s crazy about
Kind o’ turned his head
‘Cause when I asked him to describe her
Here’s what he said
Chorus
“She’s just the kind of a miss
That’s worth while waiting for
She’s got the kind of a kiss
That’s worth while waiting for
She’s always bashful and shy
But when you whisper “goodbye”
She puts that ‘promising look’ in her eye
That’s worth while waiting for
She’s got that wonderful smile
The smile that you adore
She lets you squeeze her a while
Then makes you beg for more
She’s got the kind of petting
The kind that’s worth while getting
And what’s worth getting
Is worth while waiting for
- Each night he begs for that one little kiss
He’s wild about
He’ll get that kiss no doubt
If his patience don’t wear out
Day after day he keeps telling the boys
What a gal he has
And when he’s finished, they all holler
“Cut out that jazz!”
