Boy Wanted

I've just finished writing an advertisement
Calling for a boy
No half-hearted Romeo or flirt is meant
That's the kind I won't employ
Though anybody interested can apply
He must know a thing or two to qualify
For instance:

To have a ghost of a chance
He must be able to dance
I said a boy wanted
Must have a smile
Boy wanted
Lovable style

He must be tender and true
And if he knows what to do
I think I'll learn to love him very soon
I'll want him morning, night and afternoon
So if you know of one who's wanting employment
Just tell him that I'm wanting a boy

To be the boy of my choice
He's got to own a Rolls Royce
He must be quite reckless
Buying me things
Pearl necklace, diamond rings

He must be ready to pay
A dozen bills every day
I'd simply smother him with tender care
If I could find a multi-millionaire
So if you see one dining at the Savoy, then
Just tell him that I'm wanting a boy

I won't have anyone small
He must be handsome and tall
I said a boy wanted
Beautifully dressed
Boy wanted,
Trousers well pressed

He must have wonderful eyes
He must wear wonderful ties
I want a boy who'll always look as though
He's only just stepped out of Saville Row
So if some Paris wants a Helen of Troy, then
Just tell him that I'm wanting a boy
