  • She walks like an angel walks
    She talks like an angel talks
    And her hair has a kind of curl
    To my mind, she's my kind of girl

    She's wise like an angel's wise
    With eyes like an angel's eyes
    And a smile kind of like a pearl
    To my mind, she's my kind of girl

    Pretty little face
    That face just knocks me off my feet
    Pretty little feet
    She's really sweet enough to eat

    She looks like an angel looks
    She cooks like an angel cooks
    And my mind's in a kind of whirl
    To my mind, she's my kind of girl

    Pretty little face
    That face just knocks me off of my feet
    Pretty little feet
    She's really sweet enough to eat

    She looks like an angel looks
    She even cooks like an angel cooks
    And my mind's in a kind of whirl
    To my mind, she's my kind of girl

    And my heart's kind of full of joy
    Because she told me, I'm her kind of boy Writer/s: Leslie Bricusse
