It’s the Girl

[originally by The Boswell Sisters] [Chorus] It isn't the paddle, it's not the canoe It isn't the river or skies that are blue It isn't the love dreams that bring joy to you It's the girl, oh, it's the girl! It isn't the progress that you always want to do It isn't the mountain flowers or the mornin' dew It isn't the love nest that brings love to you It's the girl that makes you happy and it's the girl that makes you blue! You up and down men What a lonely world would be without them! It isn't the songbirds, the song that they sing It isn't the sunshine that makes you like Spring So what is this magic that makes all the thing? It's the girl, oh, it's the girl! Some folks need atmosphere when they're makin' love They say old mother nature makes love grand! Still, lovers will complain that they need a shove If you're a Romeo, you'll you'll gonna understand! [Chorus] It isn't the progress that you wanna do It isn't the mountains, the flowers or the mornin' dew It isn't the love nest that brings love to you It's the girl, it's the girl! It's not the places you go It's not the crowd It's not the folks you know So listen while I shout out loud! It's the girl!
