Now I've got a girl that I'm just simply wild about
Folks say that I sure am a lucky boy
Well ev'rywhere we go, the folks all rave about
This pretty little bundle of joy

She's got freckles on her but.......she's nice
And when she's in my arms it's paradise
Oh she smells just like a rose
From her head down to her toes
She's got freckles on her but.......she's nice

(Instrumental Break)
(Yes....Well, howdy-doody, doody....Wave on, brother, yes, yes)
(Instrumental Break)

She's got freckles on her but.......she's nice
And when she's in my arms it's paradise
All the sailors give her a chase
'Cause they love her navel base
She's got freckles on her but.......she's nice

(Instrumental Break)
(Yes, a-rompin' and a-stompin' around now....Take it out, Eddie)
(Instrumental Break)

She's got freckles on her but.......she's nice
And when she's in my arms it's paradise
She looks just like my Nelly
From her head down to her elbow
She's got freckles on her but.......she's nice

(Instrumental Break)
(Ah, yes, sure soundin' nice....Ain't it the truth)
(Instrumental Break)

She's got freckles on her but.......she's nice
And when she's in my arms it's paradise
In a classroom she's a loafer
But get her on a sofa
She's got freckles on her but.......she's nice, yes

(Instrumental Break)
(Well, Roy, play it son, play it....ah, yes)
(Instrumental Break)

She's got freckles on her but.......she's nice
And when she's in my arms it's paradise
She was born in Hackensack
She made a fortune on her career
She's got freckles on her but.......she's nice

- Sept 2003 from the Hank Penny recording which featured several
asides/ad-libs to the musicians between verses. These would not
have appeared in Larry Vincent's original version)

**It would appear from other recordings the words "she's nice"
can sometimes be replaced with "she's pretty" and "she's mine".
