I WANT A GIRL 1911

[Verse 1]
C
When I was a boy
          G7
My mother often said to me
 
Get married boy and see
    C              G7
How happy you will be
C
I have looked all over
       G            E7
But no girlie can I find
    D7
Who seems to be just like
           G
The little girl I have in mind
 

C6     Db6     D6       Eb6
I will have to look a - round
E6        F6       F#6    G6
Until the right one I have found
 
 
{ CHORUS }
C            F
I want a girl just like the girl that
C       G7       C    C7
married dear old dad,
F              C
She was a pearl and the only girl that
D7              G7
Daddy ever had,
 
   C                           E7
A real old-fashioned girl with heart so true,
F                   E7
One who loves nobody else but you
   C             F
Oh I want a girl just like the girl that
C       G7       C
married dear old Dad.
 
 
[Verse 2]
C
By the old mill stream
             G7
There sits a couple old and gray
G7
Though years have rolled away
      C                   G7
Their hearts are young to day
C
Mother dear looks up at dad
          G            E7
With love light in her eye
   D7
He steals a kiss, a fond embrace
      G
While evening breezes sigh
 
C6         Db6      D6   Eb6
They’re as happy as can  be,
E6            F6      F#6
So that’s the kind of [B6]
         G6
love for me
 
 
{ CHORUS }
C            F
I want a girl just like the girl that
C       G7       C    C7
married dear old dad,
F              C
She was a pearl and the only girl that
D7              G7
Daddy ever had,
 
   C                           E7
A real old-fashioned girl with heart so true,
F                   E7
One who loves nobody else but you
   C             F
Oh I want a girl just like the girl that
C       G7       C
married dear old Dad.

PARODY

I want a beer, just like the beer,
That pickled dear old dad
It was a beer, and the only beer
That Daddy ever had
A good old-fashioned beer
With lots of foam
It took six men to carry daddy home
I want a beer, just like the beer, 
That pickled my old man
