Wish I May

Wish I May Song Lyrics

---

Gee whiz you look swell
Double talk
Needles. Pins
Triplets. Twins
When a man marries his troubles begin
When a man dies his troubles end
Let's touch thumbs and see who wins
Wish I may
Wish I might
Get the wishes I'm wishing tonight
A young cadet
Blonde or brunette
A Romeo in search of Juliet
Wish I might
Wish I may
Get the wishes I'm wishin' today
A lot of poise
A lot of noise
And an awful lot of boys
I want a date, who'll stay out late
A brother rat who'd leave me flat won't rate
Want some orchids from New York
A wrap of taffeta will be round me
Scads of lads will hound me
And they will cheer
For the belle of the ball of the year
So hold me close and hug me tight
For that's the wish I wish I may I might
Wish I had an old jalop job
Just a little olden top job
Wish I had myself a C card
That would suit me to a T pard
I could take my dra a-drivin'
And I would get the wish I wish I tonight
Wish he'd send a dozen roses
Wish I had the proper clotheses
Wish I had a slinky hairdo
Wish my evening dress was bare do
I would knock their little eyes out
If I could get the wish I wish tonight
Wish we didn't have a chaperone
Wish we had a chance to be all alone
We could slip away and tell jokes and drink cokes
But this we're afraid the prom would never condone
And so we wish we may we wish me might
(Dat-da, da-dat-da, da-dat-da. da-dat, etc.)
Just to see the latest dancing craze
Makes me wish for my romancing days
Seeing babies in the wild woods now
Makes me wish for second childhood now
Needles. Pins.
Truplets. Twins.
Ah, ah, ah
Give a yell, give a cheer
For the belle of the ball of the year.
So hold me close and hug me tight
For that's the wish I wish I may, I might.
