Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot
Take a jumbo across the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I'm hoping it's going to come true
But there's not a lot I can do
[Verse 2]
Could we have kippers for breakfast?
Mommy dear, mommy dear
They got to have them in Texas
'Cause everyone's a millionaire
I'm a winner, I'm a sinner
Do you want my autograph?
I'm a loser, what a joker
I'm playing my jokes upon you
While there's nothing better to do, hey
[Verse 3]
Don't you look at my girlfriend (Girlfriend)
'Cause she's the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend (Girlfriend)
I never seem to get a lot (What she got in another land?)
Take a jumbo across the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I'm hoping it's going to come true
But there's not a lot I can do, hey
