[Prince:] A little girl at home I'd like to have,
I would, I swear,
[Cindy:] A little girl at home?
What do you mean?
[Prince:] A someone like your dainty self,
to give me greeting there,
[Cindy:] Remember I am over seventeen.
[Prince:] Don't laugh at my prententions, dear,
We all must dream at times,
I'd hold her hand and think it grand
to hear sweet wedding chimes,
[Cindy:] Would you love her?
[Prince:] Would I love her?
as the sunshine loves the foam,
or as flow'rets love the dawn,
I'd love that little girl at home.

[Both:] When you've got a little girl at home,
believe me, you've got something rare,
something worth a something more than all on earth,
in someone sweet and fair.
Eyes that smile and eyes that tempt you for a while,
may thrill you through and through,
but you'll never roam
when that girl at home says:
"I love you."

[Prince:] That little girl at home
I'd greet with kisses ev'ry night,
[Cindy:] You'd linger at the club,
however fond.
[Prince:] With any other girl
I'm sure I'd fail to find delight.
[Cindy:] Now how about some fascinating blonde?
[Prince:] For blondes I never cared,
for with their all ensnaring lures,
I much prefer the sort of charms
that correspond to yours.
[Cindy:] Could you love me?
[Prince:] Could I love you?
I could dear, and I do,
there is no one in the world
can take me from the side of you.
