If I Had A Girl Like You - Mel Torme

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
