  *++Lyrics:|\\
These days every fellow has a sweetheart,\\
Seems that ev'ry girlie has a beau,\\
Gee, I'd be glad if I only had\\
Someone to tell me "I love you so."\\
I'd like to do some kissin' and some huggin'\\
Some croonin' and some spoonin; too I guess,\\
But no matter how I strive\\
Folks don't know that I'm alive,\\
And I fear I'm goin' to die of lonsomeness.\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
Gee, I wish that I had a girl\\
Like the other fellows had,\\
Someone to make a fuss over me,\\
To cheer me up when I feel sad,\\
On Wednesday night I'm all alone\\
When I ought to be up\\
At some sweetheart's home,\\
And I'm lonesome, awful lonesome,\\
Gee, I wish I had a girl.\\
\\
There are times when I get fairly started\\
With some girlie who looks good to me,\\
But I can't win 'cause someone butts in,\\
And then it looks like they meant twenty three.\\
It seems that I just can't get up a system,\\
My sighin' and my tryin's all in vain,\\
Cruel fate spoils ev'ry plan,\\
'Cause I'm not a ladies man,\\
And a lonely creature I'll always remain.\\
\\
