Tomboy

Tomboy, Tomboy, nuthin' but a Tomboy,

Tomboy, Tomboy, nuthin' but a Tomboy . . .

 

When we were small, I used to call you "Tomboy"

The years have flown since you were known as "Tomboy"

No made-up face, no fancy lace, pigtails in your hair,

It seems like only yesterday, 

You tagged behind me everywhere!

 

I never thought that I'd get caught by "Tomboy" ( Tomboy! )

The pink chiffon worked magic on my "Tomboy" ( Tomboy! )

An' now I find, I've been blind,

You were always on my mind, 

Before I'm through, you'll say I do,

An' "Tomboy" will be mine!

 

Tomboy, Tomboy, nuthin' but a Tomboy,

Tomboy, Tomboy, nuthin' but a Tomboy . . .

 

< instrumental bridge > ( Tomboy! )

< instrumental bridge > ( Tomboy! )

 

No made-up face, no fancy lace, pigtails in your hair,

It seems like only yesterday, 

You tagged behind me everywhere!

 

I never thought that I'd get caught by "Tomboy" ( Tomboy! )

The pink chiffon worked magic on my "Tomboy" ( Tomboy! )

An' now I find, I've been blind,

You were always on my mind, 

Before I'm through . . . 

You'll say I do . . .

An' "Tomboy" will be mine!

Tomboy!
