My Best Girl 1924

I've got a pal
he's got a gal
ev'rything a little gal should be,
Oh how he raves
how he behaves
just a little lovesick I can see,
he doesn't see her ev'ry day
but if she passes by
you'll hear him say:

There she goes on her toes,
all dressed up in her Sunday clothes
My best girl,
Just like Sweet Rosie O'Grady
She's just a sweet little lady
call me up now and then
calls me down only when
I'm too smart,
since we've been acquainted
The church is newly painted
I guess the preacher
was wise from the start,
What a pal
What a gal
Just as sweet as Frivolous Sal
My best gal.

There she goes on her toes,
all dressed up in her Sunday clothes
My best girl,
Just like Sweet Rosie O'Grady
She's just a sweet little lady
call me up now and then
calls me down only when
I'm too smart,
since we've been acquainted
The church is newly painted
I guess the preacher
was wise from the start,
What a pal
What a gal
Just as sweet as Frivolous Sal
My best gal.

I like my pal
I like his gal
and I like the way
she sings his song,
Nobody knows
nobody cares
just how I seem to get along,
but maybe I could smile some day,
Oh gee I'd love to let you hear me say:

There she goes on her toes,
all dressed up in her Sunday clothes
My best girl,
Just like Sweet Rosie O'Grady
She's just a sweet little lady
call me up now and then
calls me down only when
I'm too smart,
since we've been acquainted
The church is newly painted
I guess the preacher
was wise from the start,
What a pal
What a gal
Just as sweet as Frivolous Sal
My best gal.

There she goes on her toes,
all dressed up in her Sunday clothes
My best girl,
Just like Sweet Rosie O'Grady
She's just a sweet little lady
call me up now and then
calls me down only when
I'm too smart,
since we've been acquainted
The church is newly painted
I guess the preacher
was wise from the start,
What a pal
What a gal
Just as sweet as Frivolous Sal
My best gal.
