A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody - Mose Allison

I like a pretty girl-ie, with each pretty tune that’s played.

They go together, like sunny weather goes with the month of May.

I’ve studied girls and music, so I’m qualified to say

A pretty girl is like a melody that haunts you night and day,

Just like the strain of a haunting ain,

She’ll start up on a marathon and run a-round your brain.

You can’t escape she’s in your memory.

by morning night and noon.

She will leave you and then come back a-gain,

A pretty girl is just like a pretty tune.
