|
It isn't the paddle, it's not the canoe, |
|
It isn't the river or skies that are blue, |
|
It isn't the love dreams that bring joy to you, |
|
It's the girl, oh, it's the girl! |
|
It isn't the progress that you always want to do, |
|
It isn't the mountain flowers or the mornin' dew, |
|
It isn't the love nest that brings love to you, |
|
It's the girl that makes you happy and it's the girl that makes you blue! |
|
You up and down men, |
|
What a lonely world would be without them! |
|
It isn't the songbirds, the song that they sing, |
|
It isn't the sunshine that makes you like Spring, |
|
So what is this magic that makes all the thing? |
|
It's the girl, oh, it's the girl! |
|
Some folks need atmosphere when they're makin' love, |
|
They say old mother nature makes love grand! |
|
Still, lovers will complain that they need a shove, |
|
If you're a Romeo, you'll understand! |
|
It isn't the paddle, it's not the canoe, |
|
It isn't the river or skies that are blue, |
|
It isn't the love beams that bring joy to you, |
|
Wherever you go, whatever you do, it's the girl! |
|
It isn't the progress that you wanna do, |
|
It isn't the mountains, the flowers or the mornin' dew, |
|
It isn't the love nest that brings love to you, |
|
It's the girl, it's the girl! |
|
It's not the places you go, |
|
It's not the crowd, |
|
It's not the folks you know, |
|
Oh listen while I shout out loud! |
|
[Scat] |
|
It's the girl! |
