MY PRETTY GIRL
(Howard Gibeling / James P. Johnson / Del Porter)

Spike Jones & his City Slickers - 1946
(vocal: The Boys in the Back Room)


My pretty girl, my pretty girl
I'm always dreaming of you
My pretty girl, my pretty girl
My darling, how I love you
Promise me you will never leave me
Promise me you will never grieve me
Promise me you will not deceive me
Oh, my pretty girl
Please give me just one kiss
One sweet kiss you won't miss
For your kiss brings such bliss
to my lonely heart
My pretty girl, my pretty girl
I'm always dreaming of you
My pretty girl, my pretty girl
My darling, how I love you
Promise me you will never leave me
Promise me you will never grieve me
Promise me you will not deceive me
Oh, my pretty girl
(Musical Interlude)
As we dance cuddle up and squeeze me
As we dance cuddle up and please me
As we dance cuddle up and tease me
Oh, my pretty girl
Dance with me through the night
Let my arms hold you tight
And with dawn's early light
Let me take you home
As we dance cuddle up and squeeze me
As we dance cuddle up and please me
As we dance cuddle up and tease me
Oh, my pretty girl
