I'm Gonna Get Him

Irving Berlin

    Continues after the ad

    [Verse:]
    When I was a kid
    And I wanted a doll I got it
    Don't ask how I did but when I was a kid
    And I wanted a doll I got it
    I carefully laid out a plan
    When I were a kid 'twas a doll
    And now it's a man

    [1st refrain:]
    I'm gonna get him, I'm gonna get him
    Instead of giving up and throwing in the towel

    I'm gonna keep on fighting fair or foul
    Until I get him, I'm gonna get him

    I'm gonna wear my jewels and my ermine wrap
    And if I have to drop my shoulder strap
    I'm gonna get him, I'm gonna get him

    Continues after the ad

    And when I've got him where I think he oughta be
    I'm gonna love him, love him
    My mission in life will be to love him until he loves me

    [2nd refrain:]
    I'm gonna get him, I'm gonna get him
    I'll back him in a corner till he squirms and twists

    And if I must put handcuffs on his wrists
    I'm gonna get him, I'm gonna get him

    He'll know the facts of life and when he understands
    I'll put a shotgun in my father's hands
    And that'll get him, I'm gonna get him

    And when I've got him where I think he oughta be
    I'm gonna hug him, hug him
    I'll hug em and if I have to slug him
    He's gonna love, he's gonna love, he's gonna love me

    [Alternate Verse:]
    When you were a kid
    And you wanted a doll you got it
    Don't ask how you did but when you were a kid
    And you wanted a doll you got it
    You carefully laid out a plan
    When you were a kid 'twas a doll
    And now it's a man
