The girl that I marry will have to be
As soft and as pink as a nursery
The girl I call my own
Will wear satins and laces and smell of cologne

Her nails will be polished and, in her hair,
Shell wear a gardenia and Ill be there
`stead of flittin, Ill be sittin
Next to her and shell purr like a kitten

A doll I can carry, the girl that I marry must be
