a good gal is hard to find
you always get the other kind
and when you think you´ve got the best in the land
you look around and see her flirtin´ with some other man
and then you rave and then you crave
to see her lyin´ in her grave
so guys be wise, take my good advice
hug her every mornin´, kiss her every night
give her lots of lovin´, man, and treat her right
´cause a good girl, nowadays, is hard to find

and then you rave and then you crave
to see her lyin´ deep in her grave
