Blossom Dearie
"Gentleman Friend"


I got myself a hat with cherries
And a brand new yellow dress
It isn't very hard to guess
That the answer will be yes

I'm ridin' high
And I approve of the trend
Look what I've found me
I got myself a gentleman friend

The sunny sky
Seems like it never will end
When he's around me
I'm referrin' to my gentleman friend

His kind o' kissin' suits me to a T
What I was missin' in the use to be
I'm gettin' frequently

And so goodbye to cares that hound me
Is it any wonder I
Wanna laugh and sing and cry
Gonna love him 'til I die
My gentleman friend
