[1st verse:]
|
When I was a Baby
|
I used to sit on my Daddy's knee
|
When I was a school girl
|
The fellows always appealed to me
|
My Dad said "Don't scold her
|
She'll change when she's older"
|
But strange to say
|
To this very day
|
I've never changed
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
I love to have the boys around me
|
Around me all the time
|
I'm never happy till I'm with the men
|
Then I'm happy till we meet again
|
I simply couldn't live without them
|
There's something makes me wild about them
|
All kinds
|
The very large and very small kinds
|
I love to have them chasing me
|
Embracing me
|
All of the time
|
|
[2nd verse:]
|
I'm hoping for Heaven
|
But let me tell you in any case
|
If boys aren't up there
|
I want to go to the other place
|
I never will marry
|
A Tom, Dick or Harry
|
Just one, you see
|
Wouldn't do for me
|
I love them all
|
