Extracurrickeler Girl

Extracurrickeler Girl

Verse
Some girls were born to be the cook type
Ohters were made for charity
Still others were born to be the book type not me!
Oh no!
Chorus 1
Tempo di Benguine
I’m an EXTRACURRICUELER GIRL for gentlemen tired of school
I’m b eginning to feel like a fisherman’s reel or a popular parlor for pool
I’m an EXTRACURRICKELER GIRL a lady with leases on life
I’m the danceable dame with the flexible frame that nobody wants for a wife.
Like a bench you put your feet on or the sugar you put in your tea
I’m a comfort for husbands who cheat on the little lady I wish I could be
I’m a now and then holiday whim for gentlemen out on a shirl
I’m a not too martickeler fickeler and fickeler, EXTRA CURRICKELER GIRL
Chorus 2
I’m an EXTRACURRICKELER GIRL the quen of the Sophomore Prom.
I’m the dream and delight and the target tonight for a Harry a Dick or a Tom
I’m an EXTRACURRICKELER GIRL, the sweetheart of old Sigma Chi
I’m the belle of the ball and the life of the brawl wherever there’s bourbon and rye
I have dined with dukes and rajahs
I have wined on the Re de la Paix
I’ve been decked out in orchid coursages, but never ever a bridal bouquet
On a Saturday sail or a swim, a summery evening swirl
I’m a mustard and pickeler, never spend a nickeler,
EXTRACURRICKELER GIRL
