Irving Berlin - I Love To Have The Boys Around Me lyrics

[1st verse:] When I was a Baby I used to sit on my Daddy's knee When I was a school girl The fellows always appealed to me My Dad said "Don't scold her She'll change when she's older" But strange to say To this very day I've never changed [Refrain:] I love to have the boys around me Around me all the time I'm never happy till I'm with the men Then I'm happy till we meet again I simply couldn't live without them There's something makes me wild about them All kinds The very large and very small kinds I love to have them chasing me Embracing me All of the time [2nd verse:] I'm hoping for Heaven But let me tell you in any case If boys aren't up there I want to go to the other place I never will marry A Tom, Dick or Harry Just one, you see Wouldn't do for me I love them all
