[1st verse:] I saw you, Molly, walking with your sweetheart And I only looked and wished that I was he You looked so swell, I couldn't help but wonder If a gal like you would ever fall for me? I know he thinks the world and all about you Well I wish I had the chance to think so too He wouldn't be the same old boy without you Gee, it must feel great to have a gal like you [Refrain:] I wish that you was my gal, Molly I only wish I was your beau To feel that you was my pal, Molly Would mean an awful lot I know It isn't right I know to tell you But what's a fellow goin' to do? I wish that you was my gal, Molly I only wish you loved me too [2nd verse:] Come, tell me why you started crying, Molly Did I hurt your feelings? Tell me if I did I didn't mean to knock your other sweetheart On the level, I am awful sorry, kid I told my mother just how much I love you It was her that made me go to you and tell So, let me be your pal, if not your sweetheart When you marry, I'll be there to wish you well
