I'm Gonna Get Him Lyrics - Perry Como

When you were a kid 

and you wanted a "doll" 

you got it! 

Don't ask how you did, 

but when you were a kid 

and you wanted a "doll" 

you got it! 

You carefully laid out a plan, 

when you were a kid 

'twas a doll . . . 

And now it's a man! 

I'm gonna get em! 

I'm gonna get em! 

Instead of givin' up 

an' throwin' in the towel 

I'm gonna keep on fightin' 

fair or fowl 

until I get em! 

I'm gonna em! 

I'm gonna wear my jewels 

an' my ermine wrap 

an' if I have to drop my shoulder strap 

I'm gonna get em! 

I'm gonna em! 

An' when I've got him 

where I think he otta be . . . 

I'm gonna love em, love em 

My mission in life will be to "love em" 

until he loves me! 

I'm gonna get em! 

Hmm, I'm gonna get em! 

I'll back him in a corner 

'till he squirms an' twists 

an' if I must put handcuffs 

on his wrists 

I'm gonna get em! 

I'm gonna get em! 

He'll know the facts of life 

an' when he understands 

I'll put a "shotgun" in my father's hands 

an' that'll get em! 

I'm gonna em! 

An' when I've got him 

where I think he otta be . . . 

I'm gonna hug em, hug em 

I'll hug em and if I have to slug em 

he's gonna love, he's gonna love 

he's gonna love me!
