Irving Berlin
I’m Gonna Get Him
When you were a kid and you wanted a doll
You got it!
Don't ask how you did, but when you were a kid
And you wanted a doll
You got it!
You carefully laid out a plan
When you were a kid
'twas a doll... And now it’s a man!
I'm gonna get him! I’m gonna get him!
Instead of givin' up an' throwin' in the towel
I'm gonna keep on fightin' fair or fowl
Until I get him! I'm gonna him!
I'm gonna wear my jewels
An' my ermine wrap
An' if I have to drop my shoulder strap
I'm gonna get him! I'm gonna get him!
An' when I've got him where I think he oughtta be...
I'm gonna love him, love him
My mission in life will be to love him until he loves me!
I'm gonna get him! Hmm, I'm gonna get em!
I'll back him in a corner 'till he squirms an' twists
An' if I must put handcuffs on his wrists
I'm gonna get him! I'm gonna get him!
He'll know the facts of life an' when he understands
I'll put a shotgun in my father’s hands
An' that'll get him! I'm gonna get him!
An' when I've got him where I think he oughtta be...
I'm gonna hug him, hug him
I'll hug em and if I have to slug him
He's gonna love, he's gonna love
He's gonna love me!
