Ten Pretty Girls 1937

I know a village
where love charms are in the air,
that is where romance makes an early start.
Down in the village there
they all have daughters fair,
as you go to school you lose your heart.

There were Ten Pretty girls
at the village school,
picture ten village belles
at a village school,
cute and sweet, short and tall,
and a boy lov'd them all,
but you can't marry ten pretty girls.
There were ten pretty girls
and I'll tell you this,
that the boy's biggest thrill
was to steal a kiss,
but it don't mean a thing
playing "Kiss in the Ring"
'cos you can't marry ten pretty girls.
Now five were blondes and four brunettes
and one was a saucy little red head;
the girls grew up,
the boy left school,
and at twenty one he wedded
the saucy little red head,
Oh that one pretty girl
at the village school,
here's what she taught the boy
at the village school,
kissing girls may be fun
but your heart picks on one,
so you can't marry ten pretty girls.
