Lyric: Bud Green

Verse 1:

Never had a love affair,
Never even seemed to care;
But I'm started,
Yes, I'm started now!
Don't you wonder who's my who,
Would you like to know her, too?
Well, you can't guess,
Not unless
I show her to you:

Chorus:

If you see a dainty thing
With a big engagement ring,
You're seein' my regular gal.
If her eyes are baby blue
And they seem to smile at you,
You're seein' my regular gal.
If she's kind and if she's sweet
To the kiddies on the street,
You're seein' my regular pal;
And if you see that certain she
Strolling arm in arm with me,
You're seein' my regular gal.

Patter:

Oh, gee, my heart keeps singin'
Since she happened along.
Oh, gee, what joy she's bringin'
Since she happened along.
Called up the installment man
And explained my little plan.
Oh, gee, we'll soon be swingin'
To that Mendelssohn tune:

Half-chorus:

If she's kind and if she's sweet
To the kiddies on the street,
You're seein' my regular pal;
And if you see that certain she
Strolling arm in arm with me,
You're seein' my regular gal.

Verse 2:

Had to let the good new out,
Had to tell you all about,
My new cutie,
My patootie now.
Must have been a lucky day
When she came along my way;
And in a crowd,
Right out-loud,
I'm ready to say:

[Chorus, Patter, Half-chorus]
