A Fellow Needs a Girl  ~ 1961 Version

A fella needs a girl, to sit by his side

At the end of a weary day

To sit by his side and listen to him talk

And agree with the things he'll say!

 

A fella needs a girl, to hold in his arms

When the rest of the world goes wrong

To hold in his arms and know that she believes

That her fella is wise an' strong!

 

When things go right and his job's well done

He wants to share the prize he's won

If no one shares, no one cares

Where's the fun of a job well done, or a prize you've won?

 

A fella needs a home, his own kind of home

But to make his dream come true

A fella needs a girl, his own kind of girl

My kind of girl is you!

 

< instrumental break > 

 

A fella needs a girl, his own kind of girl

My kind of girl is you!
