Thread Name: Lyr/Tune Req: Ten Pretty Girls
Subject: Ten Pretty Girls
A while back I was searching for a song for a gentleman at one of the personal care homes where I entertain. I called the song "Ten Little Girls" and, even with your help, was unable to locate it. I came back to the thread today and realized that the correct song title is "Ten Pretty Girls", so I took a look around the Net to see if I could locate the lyrics, chords or a MIDI version of the song. I came up with the following information: there was a song called "Ten Pretty Girls", written by Will Grosz and Jimmy Kennedy, Chappell & Co. (ASCAP) which appeared on the recording "Johnny Long Complete 1937 - 1940". There was also a song of the same name by Cliff Bruner and I heard 15 seconds of the tune (instrumental only) on a Frank McWhorter site (enough to identify it as the same tune the gentleman sang to me).

The lyrics he gave me can be found under the Forum's "Ten Little Girls". However they were incomplete and I do not have the music to the whole song. If you can help me with the lyrics and/or the music I would appreciate it. Thanks.
