Lyrics I Want A Girl - Al Jolson

When I was boy, my mother often said to me
"Get married, boy, and see how happy you will be"
I have looked all over but no girly 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 that loves nobody else but you
I want a girl just like the girl that married dear old dad

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 that loves nobody else but you
I want a girl just like the girl that married dear old dad
