VERSE 01: I had girls by the score/Yes, a hundred or more/Each one as nice as could be./It was hard to decide/Which I’d want for my bride/They all looked lovely to me./While I was trying to choose one/I met a wonderful girl,/She came tripping along/Like a beautiful song/Setting my brain in a whirl. CHORUS: I was growing very fond of Molly/When along came Ruth, along came Ruth,/I thought an awful lot of Dolly/When Ruth came along,/My head began to “Merrygoround”,/I almost married Polly,/I was making love to May/When along came Ruth,/And to tell the truth,/She stole my heart away. VERSE 02: There’s a right little girl/With the right little curl/For ev’ry right little boy/When she comes you’ll forget/All the others you’ve met./Sorrow will turn into joy./She doesn’t have to be pretty,/She doesn’t have to be wise,/When she comes you will find/Tho’ they say love is blind/She’ll make you open your eyes. | |
