--- LYRICS
I'd like to find a girl just like the girl
Who married my dear old dad

When I was a boy my mother often said to me
Get married boy and see how happy you will be (ho ho ho)
I have looked all over, but no girlie can I find,
Who seems to be just like the little girl I have in mind,
I will have to look around until the right one I have found.

I want a girl, just like the girl that married dear old Dad
She was a pearl and the only girl that Daddy ever had,
A good old fashioned girl with heart so true,
One who loves nobody else but you,
I want a girl, just like the girl that married dear old Dad.
