A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody 가사

I have an ear for music And I have an eye for a maid I link a pretty girlie With each pretty tune that's played They go together like sunny weather Goes with the month of May I've studied girls and music So I'm qualified to say: A pretty girl is like a melody That haunts you night and day Just like the strain of a haunting refrain She'll start upon a marathon And run around your brain You can't escape, she's in your memory By morning, night and noon She will leave you and then come back again A pretty girl is just like a pretty tune While a string orchestra played This lovely tune I met a maid And from the start she set my brain a-whirl But alas we parted soon And now I love to hear this tune For it reminds me of that certain girl Once I met a girlie at the close of spring I began to woo her and she answered "Yes" that summer But when I went out to buy the wedding ring She left me flat and ran off with a drummer While the cello moaned tenderly this melody She said to me "I love you" When the cello fellow was through he said "Adieu" She said "Me too" and flew At the opera she said, "My dear I love you with all my soul While the singer's filled up my ear With Offenbach's Barcarolle When the music died away her love for me grew cold And I found she told better tales Than old Hoffman told Once to a maid, this sweet serenade I sang with feeling and grace I vocalized just how much I prized Her form and beautiful face Said to say the maiden's husband Came with a spade And ruined my serenade We met one evening at a dance The band was playing, I was saying Give me just a chance She told me of a boy in France And then she vanished and it banished My romance
