Pardon me miss
But I've never done this
With a real live girl
What could be harmful
In holding an armful
Of a real live girl


Pardon me if you're affectionate squeeze
Fogs up my goggles and
Buckles my knees
I'm simply drowned in the sight, and the sounds,
And the scent and the feel
Of a real live girl


Nothing can beat getting swept off your feet
By a real live girl
Dreams in your bunk don't compare with a hunk
Of a real live girl


Girl's were to girlish
Was once my belief
What a reversal and what a relief
I'll take the flowering hat
And the towering heel
And the squeal of a real live girl


I've seen photographs and facsimiles
That have set my heart off in a whirl
But I over look everyone in the book
For a real live girl
Take your Venetian or Roman or Grecian
Ideal live girl


Go be a hold out for Helen of Troy
I am a healthy American Boy
And I rather gape at the dear little shape of the stern
And the keel of a real live girl
Full time, occasional all operational girl
