I Want a Little Girl Songtext
von The Count Basie Orchestra

Count Basie supplies the rhythm and James the little plea
I want a little girl

I want a little girl to love a lot
Give her anything that I′ve got
Just a little girl who'd fall in love with me
I want a little girl, she may not look
Just like a picture in a storybook
But if she can cook, she′ll
Suit me to a tea


She don't have to wave her hair
Or dress in fancy clothes
And I wouldn't even care if she didn′t wear silken hose
I want a little girl to call my own
It must be someone that′s all alone
Just a little girl who'd fall in love with me

Just a little girl who′d fall in love with me

And right here is where Count Basie takes the blues
And really puts a polish on it
Sending out of the piano leading his orchestra
He puts it over the jumps, rocking the blues
