Boy Wanted Lyrics by Kiri Te Kanawa

Kiri Sings Gershwin

0

[Intro]
I've just finished writing an advertisement
Calling for a boy
No half-hearted Romeo or flirt is meant
That's the kind I won't employ
Though anybody interested can apply
He must know a thing to qualify
For instance:
[Verse 1]
To have a ghost of a chance
He must be able to dance
The sort of boy wanted
Must have a smile
Boy wanted
Lovable style
He must be tender and true
And if he knows what to do
I think I'll learn to love him very soon
I'll want him morning, night and afternoon
So if you know of one who's wanting employment
Just tеll him that
I'm wanting a boy!
[Verse 2]
To be the boy of my choice
Hе's got to own a Rolls Royce
He must be quite reckless
Buying me things:
Pearl necklace
Diamond rings
He must be ready to pay
A dozen bills every day
I'd simply smother him with tender care
If I could find a multimillionaire
So if you could seen one dining at the Savoy, then
Just tell him
I'm wanting a boy!
[Verse 3]
I won't have anyone small
He must be handsome and tall
I said a boy wanted
Beautifully dressed
Boy wanted
Trousers well pressed
He must have wonderful eyes
He must wear wonderful ties
I want a boy who'll always look as though
He's only just stepped out of Savile Row
So if some Paris wants a Helen of Troy, then
Just tell him that
I'm wanting a boy
