Be My Girl lyrics

Won't you be my girl

Won't you be my girl

Won't you be my, be my,

Be my girl (x4)

I was blue and lonely.

I couldn't sleep a wink,

and I could only get unconscious

if I'd had too much to drink.

There was somehow something wrong somewhere,

and each day seemed grey and dead.

The seeds of desperation

were growing in me 'ead.

I needed inspiration,

a brand new start in life.

Somewhere to place affection,

but I didn't want a wife.

And then by lucky chance I saw

in a special magazine

an ad that was unusual,

the like I'd never seen.

"Experience something different

with our new imported toy.

She's loving, warm, inflatable,

and a guarantee of joy."

She came all wrapped in cardboard,

all pink and shrivelled down.

A breath of air was all she needed

to make her lose that frown.

I took her to the bedroom

and pumped her with some life,

and later, in a moment,

that girl became my wife.

And so I sit her in a corner

and sometimes stroke her hair.

And when I'm feeling naughty,

I blow her up with air.

She's cuddly and she's bouncy,

she's like a rubber ball.

I bounce her in the kitchen

and I bounce her in the hall.

And now my life is different,

since Sally came my way.

I wake up in the morning

and have her on a tray.

She's everything they said she was,

and I wear a permanent grin.

and I only have to worry

in case my girl wears thin.

Won't you be my girl

Won't you be my girl

Won't you be my, be my,

Be my girl (x4)
