 She acts sorta teenage, just in-between age
 Looks about four foot three
 Although she's just small fry, just about so-high
 Gidget is the one for me

 A regular tomboy but dressed for a prom
 Boy, how cute can one girl be?
 Although she's not king size, her finger is ring-size
 Gidget is the one for me

 If she says she loves you
 You can bet your boots she loves you
 If she says she hates you
 That can also mean she loves you

 It very well may be she's just a baby speaking romantically
 If that's a bad feature, I'll be the teacher
 Gidget is the one for me

 She's not much on glamour
 And she should improve her grammar
 Still I sigh and stammer
 And my heart beats like a little ole hammer

 Strictly from Dixie, face like a pixie
 Shorter than girls should be
 The rest of the shipment   standard equipment
 Just a doll in dungarees
 But Gidget     is the one for me

 SPOKEN: She's it!!
