If I Find The Girl 1915 Kern

Some boys have plenty of spare time on hand,
some boys have places to go
some boys have plenty of girlies to land
some boys are not quite so slow.
The only thing I have is plenty of time
plenty of moments alone
But I'll dig up plenty of places to go
if I find a girl of my own.

If I find the girl or the girlie finds me
we will both find a place we can go.
Don't say a word if you know
it's not a shady lane.
That's too slow
we'll direct our feet
down the street to the big City Hall
At the licence department we'll call,
Then from his warm bed we will urge a man,
some nice gentle kindly clergyman
who when wide awake will agree
she's the girl for me.

If I find the girl or the girlie finds me
we will both find a place we can go.
Don't say a word if you know
it's not a shady lane.
That's too slow
we'll direct our feet
down the street to the big City Hall
At the licence department we'll call,
Then from his warm bed we will urge a man,
some nice gentle kindly clergyman
who when wide awake will agree
she's the girl for me.

Some girls have only good looks and good health
some girls are only good fun
some girls are blessed with a car load of wealth
some girls there are who have none.
I don't care a snap
if she's poor or she's rich.
All other girls I'd refuse
excepting the one
who could charm and bewitch.
This heart I'm so anxious to lose.

If I find the girl or the girlie finds me
we will both find a place we can go.
Don't say a word if you know
it's not a shady lane.
That's too slow
we'll direct our feet
down the street to the big City Hall
At the licence department we'll call,
Then from his warm bed we will urge a man,
some nice gentle kindly clergyman
who when wide awake will agree
she's the girl for me.

If I find the girl or the girlie finds me
we will both find a place we can go.
Don't say a word if you know
it's not a shady lane.
That's too slow
we'll direct our feet
down the street to the big City Hall
At the licence department we'll call,
Then from his warm bed we will urge a man,
some nice gentle kindly clergyman
who when wide awake will agree
she's the girl for me.
