How About A Boy Like Me? 1930 'Strike Up The Band'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 28 Jan 2005

[Men:] Lady, look at me,
and you must agree
I'm the man for you.
[Mrs. Draper:] Which one of the three
shall my lover be?
[Men:] I'm the man for you!
I've seen foreign beauties,
I've seen Follies cuties,
but when all is said and done
there can be no other.
Will you be my mother
and my baby rolled in one?
[N.C.:] Loving dreams of you
I've always carried;
don't you think it's time
that we got married?

[Men:] How about a boy like me
for a girl like you?
Oh, how happy I could be
with a girl like you.
Give yourself a break,
cut yourself a piece of wedding cake!
How about a boy like me
for a girl like you?

[Men:] How about a boy like me
for a girl like you?
Oh, how happy I could be
with a girl like you.
You'll make no faux pas
if you let me be your Sonny Bwah!
How about a boy like me
for a girl like you?

[Mrs. Draper:] I've been looking
high and low for a boy like you,
and I never could say no
to a boy like you.
Tho' I'm thirtysix,
still I have my little bag of tricks;
I'd have left home long ago
for a boy like you.
