My Girl's A Crackerjack

Lyrics:

My girl's a crackerjack, She wears the Red and Black, She goes to U. N. B., I go there too,

Chorus-- And in my future life, She's going to be my wife, How in the world did you find that out, She told me so.

She goes to all the games, With all the other dames, I furnish all the change, I go there too,

Chorus

She goes to all the shows, Wears all the pretty clothes, Powders her little nose, what for Lord only knows,

Chorus

When I grow older, I will grow bolder, And I will hold her close to my shoulder

Chorus
