Summary

by Jerome Kern I'm Going to Find a Girl (1917)

I want the sort of wife Who'll lead a calm, domestic life. (BUB.) For me that kind of dame, Would be a lot too tame. I want to find a girl Who'll help me buck the social whirl. (STUB.) While I prefer the sort, Who's fond of outdoor sport. Our tastes, you see, do not agree, But one thing you can take from me [Chorus]
(All.) That I am going to find a girl some day, If I have to hunt till I am gray Yes, if you stick around a while, You'll see me walking down the aisle With the little missus.
