Ray Charles
The Girl Friend
[Verse 1]
My girl's the kind of girl
For steady company
It's steady company
That i prefer
When in the charleston dance
I want to bump a knee
I want to bump a knee
With her
Homely wrecks appeal
When their checks appeal
But she has sex appeal
Yes, sir!

[Chorus]
Isn't she cute?
Isn't she sweet?
She's gentle
And mentally nearly complete
She's knockout
She's regal
Her beauty's illegal
She's the girl friend!

[Verse 2]
Take her to dance!
Take her to tea!
It's stunning
How cunning this lady
Can be
A look at this vision
Will cause a collision
She's the girl friend!
She is smart
She's refined
How can she be real?
She has heart
She has mind
Hell, the girl's ideal!
[Chorus]
Isn't she cute?
Isn't she sweet?
An eyeful you'd die full
Of pleasure to meet
In my funny fashion
I'm cursed with a passion
For the girl friend!

[Verse 3]
He's very short on looks
But long on decency
He's long on decency
He's very tame
But he has made an awful hit with me since he
A hit with me, since he first came
I have seen so well
He won't screen so well
He's game!

[Chorus]
Isn't he cute?
Isn't he sweet?
He's gentle and mentally
Nearly complete
He's warm as
An oven
He knows how
To love and
I'm the girl friend!
[Verse 4]
Take her to dance!
Take her to tea!
It's stunning
How cunning this lady
Can be
She ain't got
No culture
She's keen as
A vulture
She's the girl friend!
He is smart
He's refined
How can he be real?
He has heart
He has mind
Hell, the boy's ideal!

[Chorus]
Isn't she cute?
Isn't she sweet?
An eyeful you'd die full
Of pleasure to meet
In my [his] funny fashion
I'm [he's] cursed with a passion
For the girl friend
