This is the gal I'm talkin' about.

Now the prettiest girl that I ever seen, honey (x2)
You know the prettiest girl that I ever seen was standin' on Franks Streets in New Orlean.
Refrain

(Well, You know) it's often said and I done found out, (listen, honey) (x2)
You know it's often said and I've done found out I ain't but one thing women crazy 'bout.
Refrain

Monkey got a tail cut off on the street car line, honey.
Didn't think about his tail until I started twistin' mine, honey.
Run back to the track, laid his head on a rail and lose his head 'bout a little piece of tail.
