The Girl In The Front Lyrics 2023 © Sara Phelan

Well some Folks say you better kill’m with charm
You better act your age, but I don’t mean no harm
For a Girl like me needs a fantasy
I’m gonna take you on back to nine-teen forty three
‘Cause I’m a super club singer wanna be

‘Cause I’m the Girl in the front who’s just having fun
You see I’m the Girl who’s fine with the melody line
While all the boys in the back play the magic you see
Over and under and round and round me
Then give me the magic boys and set me free

I’m gonna put on a gown and pin up my hair
Take me to the town where there’s smoke in the air
I’m going to swing it up at Birdland, down at Smokey Joes
Take me into Harlem where the blue notes flow
For the cats are cool there and the chicks are hot
For ladies were ladies but the chicks were not
Then I’m a chick with the fever for the magic you see
And it’s calling me

Yes I’m the Girl in the front who’s just having fun
You see I’m the Girl who’s fine with the melody line
While all the boys in the back play the magic you see
Over and under and round and round me
Then give me the magic boys and set me free

Wanna be like Billie and Ella and Carmen and Lena and hopefully,
Anita and Doris and Eartha and Dinah and Peggy Lee
Yes I’m the chick with the fever for the magic you see
It’ll put a spell on you, a spell on me, possess your soul, and won’t let you be
Then give me the magic boys, it’s captured me

Yes I’m the girl in the front who’s just having fun
You see I’m the girl who’s fine with the melody line
While all the boys in the back play the magic you see
Over, under, round and round me
Then give me the magic boys
It’s calling me
It’s captured me
It’ll set you free
Give me the magic
