lyrics

I had a gal, a little pal
She was so sweet to start
Then things got bad
She’s always getting mad
I knew someday we’d have to part
Well, she blew her top today
Because I came home with the wrong bouquet
Gonna tell her that I’m gone
Put it in a song
And this is what I’m gonna say:

I’m gonna find a new sweetheart just like you
But one that treats me right
I’m gonna find a new sweetheart just like you
Who’s not so full o’ spite
There was so much nastiness I had ignored
Cuz that woman’s built just like a V-8 Ford
I’m gonna find a new sweetheart just like you
But one that treats me right

When we get to the preacher and he says, “Do you do?”
I might just say, “I might!”
And when I get her home after the honeymoon
Neighbours start to bang the ceiling with a broom
I’m gonna find a new sweetheart just like you
But one that treats me right

She’s gonna do all the things you used to do
When we put out the light
Gonna greet her in the morning with a red, red rose
Take her to the pictures and buy her clothes
I’m gonna find a new sweetheart just like you
But one that treats me right

(instrumental)

I’m gonna find a new sweetheart just like you
But one that treats me right
A cute li’l puppy just like you
With less bark in her bite
And you can get jealous of the gal I found
Come around a-sniffin’ like a Bassett hound
I’m gonna find a new sweetheart just like you
But one that treats me right

I’m gonna find a big leg woman who
Would rather dance than fight
And when you see her steppin’ at the Lindy hop
Boy, you know that woman’s rooster just don’t stop
I’m gonna find a new sweetheart just like you
But one that treats me right

And when you see us dancin’ at The Cotton Bale :
“Boy that woman surely does a fine fishtail !”
I’m gonna find a new sweetheart just like you
But one that treats me right
But one that treats me right
