Every Girl Is Different
Composer(s): Jimmy Van Heusen; Johnny Burke



I'm a very clever person
When I get my little brain unfurled
For example, I discovered something
That should really rock the world

Ev'ry girl is diff'rent
Either she's a beauty or she's brainy
Or the kind you call on when it's rainy
Who knows why?

Ev'ry girl is diff'rent
Either she's to talk with or to smile with
Or be shipwrecked on a desert isle with
Who knows why?

You'll agree that a blush can make a strong man weak
Don't quote me, but believe me, that is pure technique

Ev'ry girl is diff'rent
Either she's a sweet thing or a bright thing
But if ev'ry girl would do the right thing
They'd go out on strike
'Cause men are all alike

Ev'ry girl is diff'rent
One prefers a necklace, one a frat pin
While another reaches for a hat pin
Who knows why?

Ev'ry girl is diff'rent
Either she's a tomboy or she's fragile
Or perhaps discouragingly agile
Who knows why?

And somehow ev'ry boy believes his heart is clear
Don't look now but the fellow with the rings is here

Ev'ry girl is diff'rent
Either they're alluring or alarming
But they do expect to meet Prince Charming
For the love of Mike!
Men are all alike
