Dan Bern | All Right Kind of a Girl

You’re an all right kind of a girl
Good as it gets in my world
You can have the pictures in the magazines
They don’t give me a whirl
I ain’t no prince
But I’ll do in a pinch
You’re an all right
All right kind of a girl
You’re an all right
All right kind of a girl

I’d put you in the movies
If movies were mine to make
I’d set you in a sailboat
Sail you all round the lake
But I’ve got my feet on the ground
And I’ll keep hanging around
‘Cause you’re an all right
All right kind of a girl

Out on the street it’s a goin’ on
In the market the carriages came
Umbrellas lined up down the block
So the princess don’t feel rain
The agency girls showed up
Three days late, right on time
I’ll trade you all my nickels, babe
For your one skinny dime

And downtown, it’s a-goin’ down
Everyone look so cool
But up here we got the music
And you might as well
Still be in school

Venus and Serena came in here
Gina Lollobrigida too
Pink was back in the backroom
Lookin’ for you
You and me, we could get on
Probably with nothing at all
Skin me up a rifter baby
At the Darktown Strutter’s Ball

(lyrics: Dan Bern)
