Lyrics
The girl that I marry
Will have to be
As soft and as pink as a nursery
The girl I call my own
Will wear satins and laces
And smell of cologne
Her nails will be polished
And in her hair
She’ll wear a gardenia
And I’ll be there ‘stead of flittin’
I’ll be sittin’ next to her
And she’ll purr like a kitten
A doll I can carry
The girl that I marry must be
