Count Basie supplies the rhythm and James the little plea
I want a little girl
I want a little girl to love a lot
Give her anything that I've got
Just a little girl who'd fall in love with me
I want a little girl, she may not look
Just like a picture in a storybook
But if she can cook, she'll
Suit me to a tea
She don't have to wave her hair
Or dress in fancy clothes
And I wouldn't even care if she didn't wear silken hose
I want a little girl to call my own
It must be someone that's all alone
Just a little girl who'd fall in love with me
Just a little girl who'd fall in love with me
And right here is where Count Basie takes the blues
And really puts a polish on it
Sending out of the piano leading his orchestra
He puts it over the jumps, rocking the blues
