I Want a Little Girl

I Want a Little Girl - Count Basie

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

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
