Some girls are fair, some are jolly and fit

Some have a well-bred air or a well-honed wit

Each one′s a jewel with a singular shineA work of art with its own rare design

Dear little girl, you are terribly blessed

But it's your heart of gold I love the best

And that will be your crowning glory

Your whole life through

It′ll always be your crowning glory

The most glorious part of you

Some boys can waltz (some guys can groove)

Strike an elegant pose (wear the really hip clothes)

Some seem to have no faults (but we never like those)

No we don't!

He'll praise your eyes (your melodious laugh, ha ha!)

Call you more lovely than others by half

The one who′s right (my gorgeous prince)

Will be honest and true (he′ll believe in me too)

And prize your heart of gold the way I do

He'll know that that will be your crowning glory

Your whole life through

Your love will see that it′s your crowning glory

The most glorious part of you

And you, and you, and you

That will be your crowning glory

Darling, when they tell your story

They'll call your heart of gold your crowning glory

The most glorious part of you
