Singalong version of “I Want a Girl (Just Like the Girl That Married Dear Old Dad).” Lyrics by William Dillon. Music by Harry Von Tilzer. This song was originally published in 1911 and is in the public domain. We created a new recording for this video.
Lyrics:
When I was a boy, my mother often said to me,
"Get married, boy, and see how happy you will be."
I have looked all over, but no girlie can I find,
Who seems to be just like the little girl I have in mind.
I will have to look around until the right one I have found.
Chorus:
I want a girl, just like the girl that married dear old Dad,
She was a pearl and the only girl that Daddy ever had,
A good old fashioned girl with heart so true,
One who loves nobody else but you,
I want a girl, just like the girl that married dear old Dad.
Note: We didn't include the second verse in this version, but it's very sweet, too, so here it is:
By the old mill stream there sit a couple old and gray,
Though years have rolled away, their hearts are young today.
Mother dear looks up at Dad with love light in her eye,
He steals a kiss, a fond embrace, while ev'ning breezes sigh,
They're as happy as can be, so that's the kind of love for me.
