Mommy’s Girl (Sung to the tune of “Jesse’s Girl”)

Ilene is a friend
Yeah I know she’s been a good friend of mine.
But lately something’s changed
It ain’t hard to define
Ilene’s got herself a dog and I want to make her mine!

And she’s watching her with those droopy eyes
And she’s cuddlin’ her with that long, long body I just know it.
And she’s takin’ Blossie for long walks late, late at night
You know I wish that I had Ilene’s dog…..
I wish that I had Ilene’s girl
Why can’t I find a doggie like that?

I play along with the charade
But I can’t help wishing that dog was with me…
You know I feel so jealous when they start talking cute
I wanna tell Blossum I love her but the point is probably moot…

‘Cause she’s watching her with those droopy eyes
And she’s cuddlin’ her with that long, long body I just know it…
And she’s takin’ Blossie for long walks late, late at night
You know I wish that I had Ilene’s dog…do do do do do do…..
I wish that I had Ilene’s girl
Why can’t I find a doggie like that?

Like Ilene’s dog
I wish that I had Ilene’s dog
Where can I find a doggie….?
Why can’t I find a doggie like that?

And I’m lookin’ in the mirror all the time
Wonderin’ why she don’t follow me
I’ll even talk funny, I’ve been good with canines
Ain’t that the way love’s supposed to be?

do do do do do do do do do do do…..
do do do do do do do do do do do…..

Tell me, why can’t I find a doggie like that?
You know I wish that I had Ilene’s dog
I wish that I had Ilene’s dog
I want Ilene’s girl.

Why can’t I find a doggie like that?
Like Ilene’s dog
I wish that I had Ilene’s dog
I want, I want Ilene’s dog…….

(Dedicated to all of Blossum’s fans who wish she was theirs!!)
