Lyrics

[Chorus]

Why would a fellow want a girl like her?

A frail and fluffy beauty

Why can't a fellow ever once prefer

A solid girl like me?

[Verse 1]

She's a frothy little bubble

With a flimsy kind of charm

And with very little trouble

I could break her little arm

Ow, ow!

[Chorus]

Why would a fellow want a girl like her?

So obviously unusual

Why can't a fellow ever once prefer

A usual girl like me?

[Verse 2]

Her cheeks are a pretty shade of pink

But not any pinker than a rose is

Her skin may be delicate and soft

But not any softer than a doe's is

[Verse 3]

Her neck is no whiter than a swan's

She's only as dainty as a daisy

She's only as graceful as a bird

So why is the fellow going crazy?

[Chorus]

Oh, why would a fellow want a girl like her?

A girl who's merely lovely

Why can't a fellow ever once prefer

A girl who's merely me?

[Verse 4]

What's the matter with the men?

What's the matter with the men?

What's the matter with the men?

[Verse 5]

Yes, he's witty

So disarming

And I really like the way he holds a room

Clever, cunning, ever charming

How do I make see I'm special?

[Verse 6]

It's a pity

It's a pity

I'm as pretty

I'm as pretty

Plus I've got the patience of a perfect saint

So I'm waiting, always waiting

Nevertheless, I'm in a mess

Loosen my dress, help me, I'm starting to faint

[Chorus]

Why would a fellow want a girl like her?

A girl who isn't dizzy

Why can't a fellow ever once prefer

A high strung girl like me?

[Verse 7]

Her cheeks are a pretty shade of pink

What's the matter with the man?

But not any pinker than a rose is

What's the matter with the man?

Her skin may be delicate and soft

What's the matter with the man?

But not any softer than a doe's is

[Verse 8]

Her neck is no whiter than a swan's

What's the matter with the man?

She's only as dainty as a daisy

What's the matter with the man?

She's only as graceful as a bird

What's the matter?

So why is the fellow going crazy?

[Chorus]

Oh, oh, why would a fellow want a girl like her?

A girl who's merely lovely

Why can't a fellow ever once prefer

A girl who's merely me?

[Outro]

What's the matter with the man?

What's the matter with the man?

What's the matter with the man?

She's the matter, let me at her!

What's the matter with the man?

What's the matter with the man?

What's the matter with the man?

What's the matter with the man?
