A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody

Album: Great American Composers (1919)

  • I have an ear for music, and I have an eye for a maid.
    I like a pretty girlie, 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 refrain,
    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. Lyrics from a song in Public Domain
