(Verse)
I've just finished writing an advertisement
Calling for a boy
No half-hearted Romeo or flirt is meant;
That's the kind I won't employ
Though anybody interested can apply
He must know a thing to qualify
For instance:
(Chorus 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 I'll learn to love him very soon;
I'll want him morning, night and afternoon
So if you know of one who's wanting еmployment
Just tell him that
I'm wanting a boy!
(Chorus 2)
To be thе boy of my choice
He's 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 ev'ry day
I'll 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
I'm wanting a boy!
(Chorus 3)
I won't 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 who'll always look as though
He's only just come out of Savile Row
So if some Paris wants a Helen of Troy-oh!
Just tell him that
I'm wanting a boy
