The Boy Friend Lyrics by Sandy Wilson

The Boy Friend

0

(Verse)
[POLLY]
Any girl who's reached the age
Of seventeen or thereabout
Has but one desire in view
She knows she has reached the stage
Of needing one to care about
Nothing else will really do
[DULCIE]
Childhood games are left behind
[FAY]
And her heart takes wing
[MAISIE]
Hoping that it soon will find
[GIRLS]
Just one thing
(Chorus)
[POLLY]
We've got to have
We plot to have
For it's so dreary not to have
That certain thing called the boy friend
[GIRLS]
We dream about
And scheme about
And we've been known to scream about
That certain thing called the boy friend
[POLLY]
He is really a necessity
If you want to get on
And we might as well confess it, he
Is a sine qua non
[GIRLS]
We sigh for him
And cry for him
And we would gladly die for him
That certain thing called the boy friend
We need to have
We plead to have
In fact, our poor hearts bleed to have
That certain thing called the boy friend
We'd save for him
And slave for him
We'd even misbehave for him
That certain thing called the boy friend
[MARCEL, ALPHONSE, AND PIERRE]
Life without us is quite impossible
And devoid of all charms
No amount of idle gossip'll
Keep them out of our arms
[ALL]
We're blue without
Can't do without
Our dreams just can't come true without
That certain thing called the boyfriend
(dance break)
[ALL]
We're blue without
Can't do without
Our dreams just can't come true without
That certain thing called the boyfriend
