Sandy Wilson - The Boy Friend lyrics

(Verse) [POLLY] Any girl who's reached the age Of seventeen or thereabout Has but one desire in view She knows she has reached the stage Of needing one to care about Nothing else will really do [DULCIE] Childhood games are left behind [FAY] And her heart takes wing [MAISIE] Hoping that it soon will find [GIRLS] Just one thing (Chorus) [POLLY] We've got to have We plot to have For it's so dreary not to have That certain thing called the boy friend [GIRLS] We dream about And scheme about And we've been known to scream about That certain thing called the boy friend [POLLY] He is really a necessity If you want to get on And we might as well confess it, he Is a sine qua non [GIRLS] We sigh for him And cry for him And we would gladly die for him That certain thing called the boy friend We need to have We plead to have In fact, our poor hearts bleed to have That certain thing called the boy friend We'd save for him And slave for him We'd even misbehave for him That certain thing called the boy friend [MARCEL, ALPHONSE, AND PIERRE] Life without us is quite impossible And devoid of all charms No amount of idle gossip'll Keep them out of our arms [ALL] We're blue without Can't do without Our dreams just can't come true without That certain thing called the boyfriend (dance break) [ALL] We're blue without Can't do without Our dreams just can't come true without That certain thing called the boyfriend
