Lyrics
Lyrics:
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:
Refrain
A pretty girl is like a melody That haunts you night and day Just like the strain of a haunting refrain, She'll start upon a marathon And run around your brain, You can't escape she's in your memory, By morning, night and noon She will leave you and then come back again, A pretty girl is just like a pretty tune. A pretty girl is like a melody That haunts you night and day Just like the strain of a haunting refrain, She'll start upon a marathon And run around your brain, You can't escape she's in your memory, By morning, night and noon She will leave you and then come back again, A pretty girl is just like a pretty tune.
