Lyrics
Some fellows see the girl that they love in a dream
Some fellows see their love in a rippling stream
I saw the girl that I can’t forget
On the cover of a police gazette
If I could find her, life would be peaches and cream
Chorus
Oh, my search will never cease
For the girl on the police gazette
For the pretty young brunette
On the pink police gazette
And above my mantlepiece
There’s a page of the police gazette
With the pretty young brunette
On the pink police gazette
I love to stop at my fav’rite barber shop
Just to take another look at
The girl I haven’t met yet
And my longing will increase
For the girl on the police gazette
For the pretty young brunette
On the pink police gazette
