Lyrics
Some girls need a college education, that is true,
When they want a sweetheart, but it don’t apply to you.
Some girls need a father with a million, maybe two,
But with you it’s different, what you’ve got will do. Say!

CHORUS
You’ll get by with the twinkle in your eye,
You’ll get by and you needn’t even try.
Me, oh my! Who could ever pass you by?
You’ll get by with the twinkle in your eye.
Oh, you don’t need girlish laughter, or swell Parisian clothes,
You can get the things you’re after with two big eyes like those.
Don’t you cry if the price of food is high,
You’ll get by with the twinkle in your eye.

Silk and satin isn’t necessary in the game,
Calico and gingham, that’ll get them just the same.
Just a little something in a personality,
That will get the bacon the way you got me. Say!

CHORUS
You’ll get by with the twinkle in your eye,
You’ll get by even tho’ you’re very shy.
I can tell by the way you look at me,
You’ll do well and you won’t waste energy.
Oh, you droop your eyes so sweetly and when you start to blink,
You upset me so completely that I can hardly think.
Ask me why and I can’t give one reply,
But you’ll get by with the twinkle in your eye.
