Without a doubt
you've heard about
the diff'rent types of girls,
The Gibson Girl
The Brinkley Girl
with all the funny curls,
In other days
we used to praise,
the country girl so shy.
the Bow'ry girl,
the fencing girl,
They all would catch our eye,
Of all that I have seen
The one that is my Queen,
Is the Futurist Girl of today.

Futurist Girl
I'm crazy, over you,
I don't care
if your hair is green or blue.
Funny clothes,
from head to toes
You disclose Oh goodness knows,
You have set my poor little brain
in a whirl
There's something about you
that appeals to me,
And in ev'ry dream,
you always seem to be,
We'll have a Futuristic Honeymoon,
In a cubist house just built to soon,
If you'll only be my Futurist Girl.

Futurist Girl

You disclose Oh goodness knows,

in a whirl
There's something about you
that appeals to me,
And in ev'ry dream,
you always seem to be,
We'll have a Futuristic Honeymoon,
In a cubist house just built to soon,
If you'll only be my Futurist Girl.

Where 'ere you go,
this girl you'll know,
Her style is all her own,
With stately grace and pretty face,
for class she stand alone,
And if perchance,
you see her dance,
Her charms you can't resist.
No other girl like her can twirl,
The latest tango twist,
Now I have seen them all.
And I cannot recall,
Any other girl quite so divine.

Futurist Girl
I'm crazy, over you,
I don't care
if your hair is green or blue.
Funny clothes,
from head to toes
You disclose Oh goodness knows,
You have set my poor little brain
in a whirl
There's something about you
that appeals to me,
And in ev'ry dream,
you always seem to be,
We'll have a Futuristic Honeymoon,
In a cubist house just built to soon,
If you'll only be my Futurist Girl.

In a cubist house just built to soon,
If you'll only be my Futurist Girl.
