Beautiful girl, you're a lovely picture
Beautiful girl, you're a gorgeous mixture
Of all that lives
Under the big blue skies
My heart cries
Beautiful girl, you're a dazzling eyeful
Beautiful girl, I could never trifle
If I had you
You'd be my dream come true
There may be blondes and brunettes
That are hard to resist
You surpass them like a queen
You've got those lips
That were meant to be kissed
And you're over sweet sixteen
Oh, beautiful girl, what a gorgeous creature
Beautiful girl, let me call a preacher
What can I do
But give my heart to you?
(Spoken Interlude)
A beautiful girl is like a great work of art
She's stylish, she's chic, and she also is smart
For lounging in her boudoir, this simple plain pajama
Her cloak is trimmed with monkey fur to lend a dash of drama
Anyone for tennis? Well, this will make them cringe
And you'll knock 'em dead at dinner if your gown just drips with fringe
You simply can't be too modest at the beach or by the pool
And in summertime, it's organdy that'll keep you fresh and cool
You'd never guess what loud applause this cunning hat receives
And you'd never dream the things that you could hide within these sleeves
A string of pearls with a suit of tweed, it started quite a riot
And if you must wear fox to the opera, Dame Fashion says, "Diet!"
Black is best when you're in court
(Sung)
The judge will be impressed
But white is right when you're a bride
And you want to be well-dressed
Beautiful girl, for you I've got a passion
Beautiful girl, you're my queen of fashion
I'm in a whirl
Over my beautiful girl
Beautiful Girl was written by Nacio Herb Brown & Arthur Freed.
