I'd like to find a girl just like the girl Who married my dear old dad
When I was a boy my mother often said to me Get married boy and see how happy you will be (ho ho ho) I have looked all over, but no girlie can I find, Who seems to be just like the little girl I have in mind, I will have to look around until the right one I have found.
I want a girl, just like the girl that married dear old Dad She was a pearl and the only girl that Daddy ever had, A good old fashioned girl with heart so true, One who loves nobody else but you, I want a girl, just like the girl that married dear old Dad.
