The Girl Friend 1926 'The Girl Friend'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 04 Oct 2004

[He:] My girl's the kind of girl
for steady company.
It's steady company that I prefer.
When in the Charleston dance
I want to bump a knee,
I want to bump a knee with her.
Homely wrecks appeal
when their checks appeal,
but she has sex appeal, yes sir!

Isn't she cute!
Isn't she sweet!
She's gentle and mentally nearly complete.
She's knockout, she's regal,
her beauty's illegal,
she's the girl friend!
Take her to dance,
take her to tea!
It's stunning how cunning this lady can be.
A look at this vision
will cause a collision,
she's the girl friend!
She is smart,
she's refined,
how can she be real?
She has heart, she has mind,
Hell, the girl's ideal!
Isn't she cute.
isn't she sweet?
An eyeful you'd die full
of pleasure to meet.
In my funny fashion
I'm cursed with a passion for the girl friend!
[She:] Isn't he cute!
Isn't he sweet!
He's gentle and mentally nearly complete.
It's strange that this goil can
adore such an oil can,
I'm the girl friend!
[He:] Take her to dance,
take her to tea!
It's stunning how cunning this lady can be.
She ain't got no culture,
she's keen as a vulture,
she's the girl friend!
[She:] He is smart, he's refined
how can he be real?
He has heart, he has mind,
Hell, the boy's ideal!
[He:] Isn't she cute, isn't she sweet?
An eyful you'd die full of pleasure to meet
[Both:] In my funny fashion
I'm cursed with a passion
for the boy-girl friend!

[She:] He's very short on looks
but long on decency,
he's long on decency,
he's very tame,
but he has made an awful hit with me
since he,
a hit with me since he first came.
I have seen so well,
he won't screen so well,
but that boy means so well, he's game!

[He:] Isn't she cute!
Isn't she sweet!
She's gentle and mentally nearly complete.
She's knockout, she's regal,
her beauty's illegal,
she's the girl friend!
Take her to dance,
take her to tea!
It's stunning how cunning this lady can be.
