Johnny Mercer – G.i. Jive lyrics

A Gal In Calico
Johnny Mercer
Music and Lyrics by Arthur Schwartz and Leo Robin

Met a gal in calico, down in Santa Fe;
Used to be her Sunday beau ?til I rode away.
Do I want her, do I want her love?
Yes siree!
Will I win her, Will I win her love?
Wait and see!
Workin? with a rodeo, go from town to town.
See most ev'ry kind a gal, ev'ry kind a gown.
But who made my heart sing
Yippee Yi! Yippee Yo!
My little gal in calico.

Take my gal in calico, down in Santa Fe;
Guess I'd better let her know that I feel this way.
Is she waitin?, is she waitin??
She better be.
Am I hopin? to be ropin? her?
Yes siree!
Gonna quit the rodeo, gonna settle down,
Buy a bolt of calico for a weddin? gown.
Then will I fence her in
Yippee Yi! Yippee Yo!
My little gal in calico.
