How so? Anita sings it like this (all caps emphasizing how she accents, which is tricky in the first two lines but on the money, I think): There's not ONE boy for me - I must HAVE two or three, I need Four. First, the man who's the type to like slippers and pipe at the door. Then, IF at all possible I'd like the kind WHO's not very bossable But knows his mind. If you ADD to these few one that KNOWS how to woo dogpatch style Then this man of my world will be spangled and pearled with his smile AND though it's incredible I've found it's true That my four-in-one boy is nobody else but you. Lightweight perhaps, but I much prefer this to (in my no doubt minority opinion) Hendrick's usual over-wordy farrago. How so?

I have "Four" by both Anita O'Day and Giacomo Gates, with totally different lyrics. I think the Gates lyrics were by Jon Hendricks and the O'Day lyrics by Bill Loughborough. What I'd like to find are the Loughborough lyrics written out, as I can't understand some of what she's singing! What I do get is terrific and I'd like to have it all. Anybody know where they're to be found?
