When The Right One Comes Along 1920 '14th Ziegfeld Follies'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 04 Jan 2004

[Boys:] There's a lovely little maid
we are here to serenade,
she is like a breath of springtime,
only sweeter.
She is like unto a rose
from her head down to her toes,
she is altogether charming
when you meet her.
How de do, how are you?
Is there something we can do?
Won't you tell us, little girlie,
don't be shy.
[Mary:] Pardon me, can't you see
I'm embarrassed as can be;
This is all so very sudden,
me oh my!
[Boys:] We admire, we inquire,
your affections we desire.
Pray tell us little girl,
is there a chance?
[Mary:] I confess, more or less
that I really do possess,
a heart that's truly longing
for romance.

I love romance,
I'll take a chance,
whene'er the right one comes along;
but he must be quite fancy free,
Romantic ever, clever,
and never leave me all alone
and he must 'phone whenever he's away,
and he must hold me, fold me,
never scold me.
I will love him
when the right one comes along.

I love romance,
I'll take a chance,
whene'er the right one comes along;
but he must be quite fancy free,
Romantic ever, clever,
and never leave me all alone
and he must 'phone whenever he's away,
and he must hold me, fold me,
never scold me.
I will love him
when the right one comes along.
