Lyrics - The Girl That I Marry by Irving Berlin

Charted by frank at # 11 in 1946

The girl that
I marry will have to be
As soft and as pink as a nursery
The girl
I call my own
Will wear satins and laces and smell of cologne
Her nails will be polished and, in her hair,
She’ll wear a gardenia and
I’ll be there`stead of flittin’,
I’ll be sittin’
Next to her and she’ll purr like a kitten
A doll
I can carry, the girl that
I marry must be<instrumental>
Her nails will be polished and, in her hair,
She’ll wear a gardenia and
I’ll be there`stead of flittin’,
I’ll be sittin’
Next to her and she’ll purr like a kitten
A doll
I can carry, the girl that
I marry must be
