I Want A Little Girl Lyrics - Count Basie Big Band

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, oh yeah. 

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.
