Analysis of I Want a Girl. (Just like the girl)
Leonard Wilson 1948 (Washington state)
I do my own two-part harmony, here. Still looking for a fifth member to complete my barbershop quartet.
++++++++++++++
+*I Want a Girl*+
I want a girl
just like the tramp
that buried dear old dad
(Dear old daaaaaaad)
She was his niece
and the only piece
that daddy ever had
A sweet old fashioned slut
who knew the score
Easy piece of butt
and daddy's whorrre...
I want a witch
just like the bitch that
buried dear old Daaaaaad!
++++++++++
As Jim Carrey said in Mask,
"Was that over the top?
I can never tell!"
