Best Foot Forward movie - Wish I May, Wish I Might lyrics

rate me

Gee whiz you look swell

Double talk

Needles. Pins

Triplets. Twins

When a man marries his troubles begin

When a man dies his troubles end

Let's touch thumbs and see who wins

Wish I may

Wish I might

Get the wishes I'm wishing tonight

A young cadet

Blonde or brunette

A Romeo in search of Juliet

Wish I might

Wish I may

Get the wishes I'm wishin' today

A lot of poise

A lot of noise

And an awful lot of boys

I want a date, who'll stay out late

A brother rat who'd leave me flat won't rate

Want some orchids from New York

A wrap of taffeta will be round me

Scads of lads will hound me

And they will cheer

For the belle of the ball of the year

So hold me close and hug me tight

For that's the wish I wish I may I might

Wish I had an old jalop job

Just a little open top job

Wish I had myself a C card

That would suit me to a T pard

I could take my dra a-drivin'

And I would get the wish I wish I tonight

Wish he'd send a dozen roses

Wish I had the proper clotheses

Wish I had a slinky hairdo

Wish my evening dress was bare do

I would knock their little eyes out

If I could get the wish I wish tonight

Wish we didn't have a chaperone

Wish we had a chance to be all alone

We could slip away and tell jokes and drink cokes

But this we're afraid the prom would never condone

And so we wish we may we wish me might

(Dat-da, da-dat-da, da-dat-da. da-dat, etc.)

Just to see the latest dancing craze

Makes me wish for my romancing days

Seeing babies in the wild woods now

Makes me wish for second childhood now

Needles. Pins.

Truplets. Twins.

Ah, ah, ah

Give a yell, give a cheer

For the belle of the ball of the year.

So hold me close and hug me tight

For that's the wish I wish I may, I might.
