Mel Torme - If I Had a Girl Like You lyrics

If I wasn't me, but a different sort of chap What a romeo I'd be I'd be able to see it's an awful handicap When a guy's as shy as me What happiness might come my way If I could just speak up and say I'll bet I could work wonders, seems too good to be true I could be a 'b' marvel if I had a girl like you Single handed I'd rescue ship and captain and crew I'd be number one hero if I had a girl like you I'd spend my leisure finding hidden treasure No one could measure the things that I do In the stormiest weather I could eat a pie stew I'd become a real sailor if I had a girl like you I could do without moonlight and give the stars a rest too I'd be warm in a snowstorm if I had a girl like you All the radio programmes would be strictly taboo They could keep their old brains trust if I had a girl like you I'd never long for meals they ring a gong for The shows they throng for I never would view, I'm telling you I'd have pennies from heaven, I could live in a shoe They could take me clothes coupons if I had a girl like you
