Boy for Sale
Julie Andrews Lyrics
I am just a little girl
Who's looking for a little boy
Who's looking for a girl to love.
Tell me please, where can he be,
The loving he who'll bring to me
The harmony I'm dreamin' of?
It'll be goodbye, I know,
To my tale of woe
When he says hello, so;
I am just a little girl
Who's looking for a little boy
Who's looking for a girl to love.
If it's true that love affairs are all arranged in heaven,
My guardian angel's holding out on me!
So I'm looking for a boy 'bout five foot six or seven,
And won't be happy till I'm on his knee!
I'll be blue until he comes my way,
Hope he takes the cue when I am sayin';
Tell me please, where can he be,
The loving he who'll bring to me
The harmony I'm dreamin' of?
It'll be goodbye, I know,
To my tale of woe
When he says hello, so;
I am just a little girl
Who's looking for a little boy
Who's looking for a girl to love.
Won't you find that boy?
Help me find a boy
Who's lookin' for a girl to love.
Who's looking for a little boy
Who's looking for a girl to love.
Tell me please, where can he be,
The loving he who'll bring to me
The harmony I'm dreamin' of?
It'll be goodbye, I know,
To my tale of woe
When he says hello, so;
Who's looking for a little boy
Who's looking for a girl to love.
If it's true that love affairs are all arranged in heaven,
My guardian angel's holding out on me!
So I'm looking for a boy 'bout five foot six or seven,
And won't be happy till I'm on his knee!
I'll be blue until he comes my way,
Hope he takes the cue when I am sayin';
Tell me please, where can he be,
The loving he who'll bring to me
The harmony I'm dreamin' of?
It'll be goodbye, I know,
To my tale of woe
When he says hello, so;
I am just a little girl
Who's looking for a little boy
Who's looking for a girl to love.
Won't you find that boy?
Help me find a boy
Who's lookin' for a girl to love.

Sir Harry Secombe was born in Swansea South Wales
In his later life he presented
"Songs of Praise" for BBC 1 Sunday afternoon programme
One day the team were filming from a Church in his home town near the Gower peninsula
It was such a long time ago
But I remember being at the hotel where some of BBC crew were staying overnight after filming
Sir Harry was also present
Later in the evening
In the Lounge after much persuasion
He stood up and sang this song without musical accompaniment
or amplification
His voice was so powerful that I swear they must have heard it as far away as Cardiff
He was a real gentleman also
@johnmaddin8533
Harry Secombe, what a voice! To think this is the same Harry Secombe who was on the Goon Show with Peter Sellars and Spike Milligan just boggles the mind. An all around talented genius!
@mrsbluesky8415
I took talent for granted back in the day. Saw this as a kid when it was first released and liked it so much. It’s only now I realize how great it really is.

In the mid-70's I played one of the pickpocket boys in my Catholic elementary school play. For the next 30 years, I dreamed of playing Bumble as an adult. Finally, did so in Community Theater production as a 40 y/o. I loved every second of it, and I had chills every time I sang this song. I showed up on 1st day of rehearsals with this song NAILED....well, maybe not quite as good as Mr. Secombe.....but as close as I could get.
@MattieSheldonTheYoutuber
Chris Nutley I’m playing Mr Bumble in April as part of a school production! Great character, but unfortunately I’m a terrible singer :/
@barryfrei1195
He will lay the blame on the one who named him... O.. Li... ver! Debating using this as an audition piece for a local production of A Christmas Carol. This combined with a Mr. Dolittle monlogue from My Fair Laidy.
@sirjimis
What a fantastic set, you can almost feel the cold and experience the misery.
@BitchinWallabies
Harry Secombe was such a talented man. A singer, actor and comedian - a true inspiration
@penny1545
That was a really beautiful scene. Mr Bumble although he is a jerk he has a really loving singing voice!
@PCCphoenix
Sir Harry Secombe was a well-known tenor and comedian alongside Spike Milligan, and he made the song "If I Ruled the World" from the musical stage play Pickwick his signature tune. That stage play is based on the Dickens novel The Pickwick Papers , and this might have been a reason Secombe was chosen to play Bumble here.
@TheNike127
He’s giving boomer James corden vibes 😅
