Ella Fitzgerald - "Boy Wanted"
Verse:
Ive just finished writing an advertisement
Calling for a boy.
No half-hearted Romeo or flirt is meant;
Thats the kind Id not employ.
Though anybody interested can apply,
He must know a thing to qualify.
For instance:
Refrain 1:
Teddy:
He must be able to dance.
he must make life a romance.
I said a boy wanted,
One who can smile;
Boy wanted,
Lovable style.
He must be tender and true,
And he must know how to woo.
I know well get acquainted mighty soon,
Out in a garden neath a harvest moon;
And if he proves to be the right little laddie,
Ill make him glad
Hell answer my ad!
Refrain 2:
Toots:
To be the boy of my choice,
He neednt own a Rolls Royce.
The kind of boy wanted*
Neednt have gold;
Boy wanted,
Mustnt be cold.
If he has oodles of charm,
Ill even life on a farm.
if he fits into my picture of a home,
Ill be so nice hell never have to roam.**
Yes, if he proves to be the right little laddie,
Ill make him glad
He answered my ad.
Refrain 3:
Babe:
He must like musical shows,
And he must wear snappy clothes.
Yes, that is my story,
And to it Ill stick;
Theres no glory
In having a hick.
He must know how to say "Yes!"***
When I look at a new dress.
Oh, Ill be ready when the right one calls,
And Ill start vamping him until he falls;
And if he subsidises me, oh, sweet daddy!
Ill make him glad
He answered my ad!
Refrain 4:
Bunny:
The movies he must avoid,
Hell know his Nietzsche and Freud.
I said a boy wanted,
One who knows books;
Boy wanted
Neednt have looks.
He must be such a saint,
But, Oh! he dassent say aint.
I dont care if his bankroll totals naught,
For we can live on love and food for thought.
If hes a scholar, when I see him Ill holler,
My lad, Im glad
You answered my ad!
*Alternative version of this line: The sort of boy wanted
** Alternative version of this line: Ill be so nice hell never care
to roam
*** Alternative version of refrain 3, lines 7-8:
And so his boots mustnt squeak;
And he must love like a sheik.
Primrose Version:
Verse:
Ive just finished writing an advertisement
Calling for a boy.
No half-hearted Romeo or flirt is meant;
Thats the kind I wont employ.
Though anybody interested can apply,
He must know a thing to qualify.
For instance:
Refrain 1:
To have a ghost of a chance,
He must be able to dance.
The sort of boy wanted
Must have a smile
Boy wanted,
Lovable style.
He must be tender and true,
And if he knows what to do,
I think Ill learn to love him very soon;
Ill want him morning, night and afternoon.
So if you know of one whos wanting employment,
Just tell him that
Im wanting a boy!
Refrain 2:
To be the boy of my choice,
Hes got to own a Rolls Royce.
He must be quite reckless
Buying me things:
Pearl necklace,
Diamond rings.
He must be ready to pay
A dozen bills evry day.
Ill simply smothing him with tender care
If I could find a multimillionaire.
So if you could seen one dining at the Savoy-oh!
Just tell him
Im wanting a boy!
Refrain 3:
I wont have anyone small,
He must be handsome and tall.
I said a boy wanted,
Beautifully dressed;
Boy wanted,
Trousers well pressed.
He must have wonderful eyes;
He must wear wonderful ties.
I want a boy wholl always look as though
Hes only just come out of Savile Row.
So if some Paris wants a Helen of Troy-oh!
Just tell him that
Im wanting a boy.
