I like her smile, I like her eyes
I like her style and I like her size
She’s not too thin and not too fat
I like a little girl like that

I like the way she wears her hair
She’s got that something for which I care
And this is what I’m getting at
I like a little girl like that

Ain’t that a gal, 
By gee, by heck
I tell you pal
With me she’s check, and double check

Some day soon when I decide
I’m gonna get me a nice young bride
To share that cosy little flat
I like a little girl like that
I like a little girl like that

(Musical Break)
I suggest we see a show
She says, “Why waste all your hard earned dough,
Let’s spend the evening in my flat”
I like a little girl like that

And when I want to treat her swell
And buy her dinner at some hotel
She says, “Let’s try the automat”
I like a little girl like that

They say that she
Won’t pet, by heck
When she’s with me
Oh boy, it’s neck, and double neck

We sit there with the lights down low
And when it’s late and I want to go
She won’t give up my coat and hat
I like a little girl like that
I like a little girl like that
