Well, well, I once believed {Doo lang doo lang}
All fellows were nice {Doo lang doo lang}
But girls, listen to me {Doo lang doo lang}
And take my advice {Doo lang doo lang}

Girls, you better get yourself on the right track
‘Cause finding a good man, girl
Is like finding a needle in a haystack (What did I say, girl)
Needle in a haystack, yeah, yeah
Shoo doop shoo doop wah dah
Shoo doop shoo doop wah dah

Girls, those fellows are sly, slick and shy (Yeah)
So don’t you ever let ‘em catch you lookin’ starry-eyed
They’ll tell you that their love is true
Then they’ll walk right over you

Now girls, you should know these things right off the bat
‘Cause finding a good man, girls
Is like finding a needle in a haystack (What did I say, girl)
Needle in a haystack, yeah, yeah
Shoo doop shoo doop wah dah
Shoo doop shoo doop wah dah (Hey, hey, hey)

And now girls, that’s why I’m tellin’ you the natural facts
‘Cause finding a good man, girls
Is like finding a needle in a haystack (What did I say, girl)
Needle in a haystack

I’m tellin’ you girls, you better look before you leap (Yeah)
Still waters sometimes is very deep
You will be sorry when you discover
That you’re just his pastime lover

Girls, you should know these things right off the bat
‘Cause finding a good man, girls
Is like finding a needle in a haystack (What did I say, girl)
Needle in a haystack (I swear you better take heed)
Needle in a haystack (Listen to me)
Needle in a haystack (You better play hard to get)

Shoo doop shoo doop (Or you’re gonna regret)
Shoo doop shoo doop (That day you were born, girl)
Shoo doop shoo doop
