Well, look-a there, look-a there
Look-a there, look-a there, ooh wee
Look-a there, look-a there
Look-a there, ooh wee
Ooh! Ah! Ooh! Ah! Ooh wee
Well, she's so fine, fine, fine
She's so fine, f-f-fine
She's so fine
She's so fine, fine, fine
She's really sweet
The finest girl you ever wanna meet
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Reet petite
The finest girl you ever wanna meet
Well, have you ever seen a girl for whom your soul you'd give
For whom you'd fight for, die for, pray to God to live
'Cause she's so fine
She's so fine
She's really sweet
The finest girl you ever wanna meet
Well, she really fills her clothes from head to toe
I want the world to know I love her, love her so
She's all right
She's all right
She's all right
She loves me day and night
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Reet petite
The finest girl you ever wanna meet, oh
Well, she's like honey from a bee, like peaches from a tree
I love her, need her, she means so much to me
She's all right
She's got what it takes
She's got what it takes
And with me she really rates
Well, now she's my cutie, my tutti frutti
My heart, my love, my bathing beauty
She's all right
She's got what it takes
She's got what it takes
And with me she really rates
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Reet petite
The finest girl you ever wanna meet
Reet petite
The finest girl you ever wanna meet
Reet petite
The finest girl you ever wanna meet
