I've just finished writing an advertisement
Calling for a boy
No half hearted Romeo or flirt is meant
That's the kind I'd not employ

Though anybody interested can apply
He must know a thing to qualify
For instance

He must be able to dance
he must make life a romance
I said a boy wanted
One who can smile
Boy wanted
Lovable style
He must be tender and true
And he must know how to woo
I know we'll get acquainted mighty soon
Out in a garden 'neath a harvest moon
And if he proves to be the right little laddie
I'll make him glad
He'll answer my ad

To be the boy of my choice
He needn't own a Rolls Royce
The kind of boy wanted
Needn't have gold
Boy wanted
Mustn't be cold
If he has oodles of charm
I'll even life on a farm
if he fits into my picture of a home
I'll be so nice he'll never have to roam
Yes, if he proves to be the right little laddie
I'll make him glad
He answered my ad

He must like musical shows
And he must wear snappy clothes
Yes, that is my story
And to it I'll stick
There's no glory
In having a hick
He must know how to say Yes
When I look at a new dress
Oh, I'll be ready when the right one calls
And I'll start vamping him until he falls
And if he subsidises me, oh, sweet daddy
I'll make him glad
He answered my ad

The movies he must avoid
He'll know his Nietzsche and Freud
I said a boy wanted
One who knows books
Boy wanted
Needn't have looks
He must be such a saint
But, Oh he dassent say 'ain't'

I don't care if his bankroll totals naught
For we can live on love and food for thought
If he's a scholar, when I see him I'll holler
'My lad, I'm glad
You answered my ad'
