Girls
Johnny Burnette Trio · Other Songs - Johnny Burnette Trio
With their ponytails & their short short skirts just above the knee
Big ones, small ones, short & tall, they all have somethin' new
There's so many girls & so little time
I don't know what I'm gonna do
Ooo I love the way they walk
Uh uh, I love to hear 'em talk
Girls, girls, give me nothin' but girls
& time enough to love 'em all
I've got a date with Mary Lou; I pick her up at 9
& when I take her home tonight, I'm meetin' Caroline
Peggy, Betty, Sally & Sue are waitin' for my call
Till I'll be the one & my lovin' is done
I'm gonna try to get around to them all
Ooo I love the way they walk
Uh uh, I love to hear 'em talk
Girls, girls, give me nothin' but girls
Big ones, small ones, as long as they're girls
Girls, girls, give me nothin' but girls
& time enough to hug 'em
Time enough to kiss 'em
& time enough to love 'em all
