I am Lily, of the Valley Of the quiet peaceful valley over there And I’m lonely, oh so lonely And nobody in the valley seems to care
When other girls go walking On their arms they have a swell beau But whenever I go walking On my arm is just my elbow
And I’m looking, always looking For my dream man and I guess I always will I know a girl’s supposed to wait for a prince to come and get her The only prince I ever met is a neighbor’s Irish setter
So if by any chance you see A prince who had a plan for me Tell him not to dilly-dally Not to dilly-dally Come back soon Lily of the Valley
