Six young fellows once went to Persia
for a spree.
as happy as could be,
the lovely nights to see.
They got inside the sultan's palace,
had a look around
when suddenly to their surprise
his harem soon they found.
One by one they peeped in thro'
the keyhole of the door,
when a voice exclaimed
"Now what do you want?"
and they all began to roar.

We're all looking for a girl,
wait, wait, waiting for a girl.
We don't care if she's dark or fair,
or whether she's got straight or curly hair.
We're all waiting for a girl!
And we're all going well and strong,
and we mean to wait till Sunday,
or till supper time on Monday
till the right one comes along.

We're all looking for a girl,
wait, wait, waiting for a girl.
We don't care if she's dark or fair,
or whether she's got straight or curly hair.
We're all waiting for a girl!
And we're all going well and strong,
and we mean to wait till Sunday,
or till supper time on Monday
till the right one comes along.

Six young sailors were wrecked
upon a desert isle,
and lived in funny style
together for a while.
They lived on figs and cocoanuts
for weeks there all alone,
when a ship came up and rescued them
and was going to take them home.
The captain said, "I s'pose you're
waiting for a ship to call."
the shipwrecked sailors said,
"Oh no! it isn't that at all."

We're all looking for a girl,
wait, wait, waiting for a girl.
We don't care if she's dark or fair,
or whether she's got straight or curly hair.
We're all waiting for a girl!
And we're all going well and strong,
and we mean to wait till Sunday,
or till supper time on Monday
till the right one comes along.

We're all looking for a girl,
wait, wait, waiting for a girl.
We don't care if she's dark or fair,
or whether she's got straight or curly hair.
We're all waiting for a girl!
And we're all going well and strong,
and we mean to wait till Sunday,
or till supper time on Monday
till the right one comes along.

Six young coppers
were at the corner of the street,
they all were off their beat,
the moon shone on their feet.
A clock there toll'd the midnight hour,
it was a pretty scene
then they got interrupted there
for up came Sergeant Green
said he, "What's up? a murder?
or a burglar here about?
The coppers turned their bullseyes on
and all began to shout:

We're all looking for a girl,
wait, wait, waiting for a girl.
We don't care if she's dark or fair,
or whether she's got straight or curly hair.
We're all waiting for a girl!
And we're all going well and strong,
and we mean to wait till Sunday,
or till supper time on Monday
till the right one comes along.

We're all looking for a girl,
wait, wait, waiting for a girl.
We don't care if she's dark or fair,
or whether she's got straight or curly hair.
We're all waiting for a girl!
And we're all going well and strong,
and we mean to wait till Sunday,
or till supper time on Monday
till the right one comes along.
