Well, have you ever seen a girl for whom your soul you'd give
For whom you'd fight for, die for, pray to get?
She's so fine, she's so fine, she's really sweet
The finest girl you ever wanna meet

Well, she's like honey from a bee
And like peaches from a tree, I love her, need her,
'Cause she means so much to me, cause she's alright,
She's got what it takes
She's the finest girl you ever wanna meet

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Rrrr Reet Petite the finest girl you ever wanna meet

Well, I know she's my cutey,
My tuti fruiti,
my heart, my love, my bathin' beauty
She's alright, she's got just what it takes,
She's got what it takes and
She's the finest girl you ever wanna meet

Well, have you ever seen a girl for whom your soul you'd give
For whom you'd fight for, die for, pray to get?
She's so fine, she's so fine, she's really sweet
The finest girl you ever wanna meet

Oh oh oh oh,oh oh oh oh
RrrReet Petite the finest girl you ever wanna meet
RrrReet Petite the finest girl you ever wanna meet
RrrReet Petite the finest girl you ever wanna meet
