While looking through my bureau drawer
Beneath some papers, there I saw
An address book I'd kept throughout the years
It listed all the girls I've known
And friends, that list it sure has grown
Each name brings back the laughter and the tears

There were girls that I'd romanced with
Girls that I had danced with
Some whose faces I just can't recall
There were girls I kissed and lied to
Some I couldn't, though I tried to
The name of the game was love
And I played it with them all

There was Mary, Martha, Jana, Eva, Josie
Hannah, Anna, Sally, Beth and Rosie
Bonnie, Connie, Susan and a Cindy
You get Claudette, Emmajean and Mindy
Janet, Jeanie, Inga, Maura, Bessie
Florence, Fanny, Shirley, Jean and Tessie
Nancy, Nola, Anna, even Dolly
Gertie, Gretchen, Carmelita and Molly

Girls of every nation, each one a new temptation
They were great, I sure had a ball
They were girls that I had courted
Girls whose marriage plans I thwarted
The name of the game was love
And I played it with them all

There was Betty, Nettie, Carol and Juanita
Cora, Dora, Grace and Rosalita
Maureen, Corey, Margery and Katie
Dottie, Lottie, Linda, Jan and Sadie
Henrietta, Mabel, Jane and Lealla
Daisy, Maizy, Mona and Cecilia
Lois, Liza, Laura and Leona
Vida, Rita, Lucy and Ramona

Penny, Janice, Silvie and Elmira
Etta, Gretta, Louisa, Olvira
Merle and Pearl, and Myora and Denny
Doris, Vicky, Julietta, Minny
Frances, Paula, Saundie, even Trudy
Barbara, Ethel, Ella, Boots and Judy
Kitty, Kathy, May and Kay and Lena
Georgia, Clara, Valerie and Gina

Iris, Alice, Dorothy and Hilda
Olga, Donna, Lulubella, Gilda
Beulah, Phoebe, Ida and Alida
And I loved them all
And I loved them all
