When a Boy from Alabama Meets a Girl from Gundagai

(Recitative)
Picture a lonesome doughboy, far from the USA
Wondering what to do, feeling a trifle blue –
Picture an Aussie girlie, looking so all alone
When perchance in a quiet little street
These two lonesome souls happen to meet –
(Sings)
When a Boy from Alabama meets a girl from Gundagai
Winter turns into spring, and the birds start to sing
A sweet lullaby
When the boy from Alabama tells the girl from Gundagai
That, believe it or not, he sure likes her a lot
A silver lining's in the sky
Pretty soon they're strolling out together
A new day has begun
Life is just a bunch of sunny weather
And troubles, like bubbles, go one by one –
When a Boy from Alabama meets a girl from Gundagai
All the world is in tune, and a sweet honeymoon
Will happen in the by and by
(Spoken)
When a Boy from Alabama meets a girl from Gundagai
The storm clouds disappear, instead a rainbow's in the sky
When the boy from Alabama tells the girl, "Say, you're a honey"
Then he thinks about the girl who doesn't care he's got no money
He 'phones her in the morning and makes a special date
She hurries home from work that night, to see him she just can't wait
He looks like Robert Taylor, she loves his manly walk
She reckons she could sit for hours and listen to him talk ¬–
(Sings)
Pretty soon they're strolling out together ...(etc)
