She's so respectable, she's so respectable
Tell me, what kind of girl is this?
What kind of girl is this?
She's never, ever been kissed

What kind of girl?
Rubbidy dub dub dub
What kind of girl is this?
She's never ever been in love

What kind of girl?
She's never been out in the moonlight
Watching the stars above
She's so respectable

Tell me, what kind of girl is this?
What kind of girl is this?
She's never, ever been on a date
What kind of girl?

What kind of girl is this?
What kind of girl is this?
She's never, ever been on a date
What kind of girl?

Yes, I'm telling you people
She's the kind of girl for me
She's so respectable
