A Gal In Calico
Johnny Mercer
Music and Lyrics by Arthur Schwartz and Leo Robin

Met a gal in calico, down in Santa Fe;
Used to be her Sunday beau "?til I rode away
Do I want her, do I want her love?
Yes siree!
Will I win her, Will I win her love?
Wait and see!
Workin' with a rodeo, go from town to town
See most ev'ry kind a gal, ev'ry kind a gown
But who made my heart sing
Yippee Yi! Yippee Yo!
My little gal in calico
Take my gal in calico, down in Santa Fe;
Guess I'd better let her know that I feel this way
Is she waitin', is she waitin'?
She better be
Am I hopin' to be ropin' her?
Yes siree!
Gonna quit the rodeo, gonna settle down,
Buy a bolt of calico for a weddin' gown
Then will I fence her in
Yippee Yi! Yippee Yo!
My little gal in calico
