Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

(Spoken: ad lib:)

I always dreamed the boy I loved would come along.

And he'd be tall and handsome, rich and strong.

Now that boy I love has come to me..

but he sure ain't the way I thought he'd be.

(SUNG:)

Sha-la, la, la, la..yea, hey, hey..

Sha-la, la, la, la..yea, hey, hey..

Sha-la, la, la, la..yea, hey, hey..

he's sure the boy I love.

He doesn't look like a movie star..

he doesn't drive a Cadillac car.

 He sure ain't the boy I've been dreamin' of..

 but he's sure the boy I love.

 (Let me tell ya now)..he'll never be a big business man.

 He always buys on the installment plan.

 He sure ain't the boy I been dreamin' of..

 but, he's sure the boy I love.

Chorus

When he holds me tight..everything's right.

crazy as it seems..

 I'm his..whatever he is..and I forget all of my dreams.

 (And everybody knows)..he doesn't hang diamonds round my neck.

 And all he's got's an unemployment check.

 He sure ain't the boy I been dreamin' of..

 but, he's sure the boy I love.

 (INTERLUDE:) (x2)
