"Irma" lyrics

"Irma"

There are songs about girls with red and blond and brunette curls
There's Molly, Margie, Maggie, and Coreen
Clementine and Mary Lou, Caroline, Sue, City Sue
And no doubt you've heard the song about Irene

But Irma is the name of my baby
Irma is the only girl for me
I can't wait to hear her say
She'll be mine 'til judgement day
Oh, Irma is the only girl for me

She is built like Lorelei and that expression in her eyes
Makes you want to sit and chat awhile
She don't need Maybelline to compete with Josephine
She also has that Mona Lisa smile

Irma is the name of my baby
Irma is the only girl for me
I can't wait to hear her say
She'll be mine 'til judgement day
Oh, Irma is the only girl for me

She's sweeter than sweet Marie or beautiful Annabelle Lee
She's like the gal who married dear old dad
We go any place in town we never have to slip around
Oh, she's the nicest gal I've ever had

Irma is the name of my baby
Irma is the only girl for me
I can't wait to hear her say
She'll be mine 'til judgement day
Oh, Irma is the only girl for me
