I buy her everything to keep her in style. She's got a pair of hips Just like two battleships. Oh boy, that's where my money goes." (repeat with verses on arms/legs/etc.) “My gal’s a corker
She’s a New Yorker.
I buy her everything to keep her in style.
She’s got a pair of hips
Just like two battleships.
Oh boy, that’s where my money goes.”
