TEN PRETTY GIRLS
Jimmy Kennedy (m), Will Grosz (l)

as rec by Sam Browne w Ambrose and His Orch (1937)


There were ten pretty girls at the village school
Picture ten village belles at a village school
Cute and sweet, short and tall
And a boy loved them all
But you can't marry ten pretty girls

There were ten pretty girls, and I'll tell you this
That the boy's biggest thrill was to steal a kiss
But it don't mean a thing
Playing kiss-in-the-ring
'Cause you can't marry ten pretty girls

Now, five were blondes, and four brunettes
And one was a saucy little redhead
The girls grew up
The boy left school
And at twenty one he wedded the saucy little redhead

Oh, that one pretty girl at the village school
Here's what she taught the boy at the village school
Kissing girls may be fun
But your heart picks on one
So you can't marry ten pretty girls
