Well, lookabout, lookabout, lookabout, lookabout, oooooh-weee
Lookabout, lookabout, lookabout, oooooo-weee
Ooh, ah, ooh, ah, ooooo-weee


Well, she's so fine, fine, fine
She's so fine, fa-fa-fine
She's so fi-i-i-i-i-ine
She's so fine, fine, fine
She's really sweet, the finest girl you ever wanna meet

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Rrrr-Reet Petite, the finest girl you ever wanna meet

Well, have you ever seen a girl for whom your soul you'd give
For whom you'd fight for, die for, pray to
God you'd lie for
She's so fine, she's so fine, she's really sweet
The finest girl you ever wanna meet

Well, she really fills her clothes from her head to toe
I want the world
to know, I love her, love her so
She's alright, she's alright, she's alright
She loves me all the day and
night

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Rrrr-Reet Petite, the finest girl you ever wanna meet
Oooohhhh

Well, she's like honey from a bee
And like peaches from a tree
I love her, need her to be so close to me
She's alright, she's got what it takes
She's got what it takes and with a-me she really rates

Well, oh, now she's my cutie, my tutti fruitti,
My heart, my love, my bathin' beauty
She's alright, she's got just what
it takes
She's got what it takes and with a-me she really rates

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Rrrr-Reet Petite, the finest girl you ever wanna meet
Rrrr-Reet Petite, the finest girl you ever wanna meet
Rrrr-Reet Petite, the finest girl you ever wanna meet
