gotta find myself a girl to hug and hold

cuddle by the fire when the air is cold

keep me company when i  feel gray

a friendly girl with who I can play

she must be good

she must be bad

she must be sweet and sometimes sad

she must not mind talking about death

she must not mind my stinking breath

oh yeah

gotta find myself a girl

oh yeah

lord please help me

find myself a girl

oh yeah



gotta find myself a girl who acts like a man

a girl who wants to hold my hand

a girl who knows what to say

when i tell her to go away

a girl who loves fish and eggs

a girl who never shaves her legs

girl that smiles and sometimes frowns

a girl that'll tear me apartment down

girl that likes to have a good time

a girl involved in organized crime

oh yeah

gotta find myself a girl

oh yeah

lord please help me

find myself a girl

oh yeah



i'm looking in new mexico and new orleans

chicago, philadelphia, brooklyn and queens

looking in new jersey, green bay

i'm looking all over the entire usa



i'm searching for a girl

i don't care what size

i don't give a damn about the colour of her eyes

her skin can be black, her skin can be white

she only has to love me and hold me tight

and dance with me and play me in the snow

and go with me to the local disco

fly me back in the crack of blue

shimmy shimmy shama go bamu!

a girl that's kinda wild and never a bore

that's the kind of girl I'm looking for

oh yeah

i'm looking for a girl

oh yeah

lord please help me

find myself a girl

oh yeah



searching, i'm searching

and all around the world

i'm searching, i'm looking for that one and only special girl

i'm lookin', i'm lookin'

all across the lonely world

i'm searching, i'm searching

my one and only special girl
