She acts sorta teenage, just in-between age

Looks about four foot three

Although she's just small fry, just about so-high

Gidget is the one for me



A regular tomboy but dressed for a prom

Boy, how cute can one girl be?

Although she's not king size, her finger is ring-size

Gidget is the one for me



If she says she loves you

You can bet your boots she loves you

If she says she hates you

That can also mean she loves you



It very well may be she's just a baby speaking romantically

If that's a bad feature, I'll be the teacher

Gidget is the one for me



She's not much on glamour

And she should improve her grammar

Still I sigh and stammer

And my heart beats like a little ole hammer



Strictly from Dixie, face like a pixie

Shorter than girls should be

The rest of the shipment standard equipment

Just a doll in dungarees

But Gidget is the one for me



SPOKEN: She's it!!
