The Girl of the U.S.A.

Oh, the maiden of France are certainly fine And I think every fellow will State That the "What you may call it" Coiffure way They put up their hair is great. And they know how to dress, and they wear their clothes. In a Frenchy, fetching way. And yet to me there is just One girl. My girl in the U.S.A.

I like to listen when French girls talk Though I'm weak on the "Parlez-vous," But the language of youth in every land Is somehow about the same.
