The Girl on the Magazine Cover (Extrait De La Comédie Musicale « La Parade Du Printemps ») - Richard Beavers, Ирвинг Берлин

My head’s in a dizzy whirl

Since I met a certain girl

There isn’t another like her

She’s a matchless pearl

Since I met this maid divine

I do nothing else but pine

Because I know she never could be mine

The girl I love

Is on a magazine cover

It seems they painted her just for me

I’d fall in love

If I could ever discover

A little girl quite as nice as she

If I could meet

A girl as sweet

I’d simply claim her

And name her my queen

For if she ever came

I would love her the same

As I love her on the cover of a magazine

My home is a picture book

If ever you came to look

You’d find her in ev’ry corner

And in ev’ry nook

She’s fairer than all the queens

And loving her simply means

That I’m kept busy buying magazines
