What kind of girl are you looking for?
One who smiles
as bright as the sun,
whose eyes crinkle and scrunch?
Does she have to be tall or scrawny,
fair or dark, when the sun shines upon her?
All you say. All?
My son I will give you all
that I can find!
My sweet, I will try not do you wrong
for she will not only be yours but also mine!
This one that I have found,
I am sure she is the one for you
my son.
One as good as me
but certainly not and never will be
me, oh son of mine.
She is tall with beauty,
her hair longer than most.
Walks with elegance
as if she’s a glass in the air
always on toast.
Without doubt she can be a
graciously mannered host!
Looking sweeter in white
Rather than black, come take her hand
And marry her tonight.
Excuse all the others,
this one is certainly for you.
May you dress her in Silver and Gold
And forever you will shine
with her, as beautiful as me!
So come, come now!
Marry her tonight,
She will look like a doll
My eyes will show nothing but delight.
My son, come,
come now!
