[1st verse:]
|
I saw you, Molly, walking with your sweetheart
|
And I only looked and wished that I was he
|
You looked so swell, I couldn't help but wonder
|
If a gal like you would ever fall for me?
|
I know he thinks the world and all about you
|
Well I wish I had the chance to think so too
|
He wouldn't be the same old boy without you
|
Gee, it must feel great to have a gal like you
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
I wish that you was my gal, Molly
|
I only wish I was your beau
|
To feel that you was my pal, Molly
|
Would mean an awful lot I know
|
It isn't right I know to tell you
|
But what's a fellow goin' to do?
|
I wish that you was my gal, Molly
|
I only wish you loved me too
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
Come, tell me why you started crying, Molly
|
Did I hurt your feelings? Tell me if I did
|
I didn't mean to knock your other sweetheart
|
On the level, I am awful sorry, kid
|
I told my mother just how much I love you
|
It was her that made me go to you and tell
|
So, let me be your pal, if not your sweetheart
|
When you marry, I'll be there to wish you well
|
