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.

i want a little girl to love a lot.

i want a little girl to fall in love with me.
