Boy Wanted - Ella Fitzgerald

作词：George Gershwin/Ira Gershwin

作曲：George Gershwin/Ira Gershwin

I've just finished writing an advertisement

Calling for a boy

No half-hearted romeo or flirt is meant

That's the kind I'd not employ

Though anybody interested can apply

He must know a thing or two to qualify

For instance:

He must be able to dance

He must make life a romance

I said a boy wanted

One who can smile

Boy wanted lovable style

He must know how to say yes

When I look at a new dress

Oh I'll be ready when the right one calls

And I'll start vamping him until he falls

Yes if he proves to be the right little laddie

I'll make him glad he answered my ad

He must like musical shows

And he must wear snappy clothes

Yes that is my story

And to it I'll stick

No glory

In having a hick

He needn't be such a saint

But oh he dassent say ain't

I don't care if his bankroll totals naught

For we can live on love and food for thought

If he's a scholar when I see him I'll holler

My lad I'm glad you answered my ad
