[ Featuring
Count Basie, His Orchestra ]
I want a little girl, call my own.
She must be someone who's all alone now.
Say, I want a little girl
To fall in love with me, oh yeah.
I want a little girl, but she may not look
Just like a picture in a story book.
If she can cook chicken, yeah,
She'll suit me to a T.
And she don't have to wave her hair
Or even wear fancy clothes,
I wouldn't even care.
She don't wear nylon hose, oh no.
I want a little girl
To love a lot.
You know that I'd give
Her everything I got.
I want a little girl
To fall in love with me.
