I found this version on Spotify. Jim Lowe's big hit was "Green Door" (1956).


A PERSONAL FRIEND OF MINE
As recorded by Jim Lowe on "Rock-a-Chicka"

(Who's that girl? Who's that girl?)

You can easily see she's not my mother,
'Cause my mother's over forty-nine.
You can easily see she's not my sister,
'Cause I never showed my sister such a wonderful time.
You can easily see she's not my cousin,
'Cause my cousin's too refined.
She's just a pretty little gal, a wonderful pal.
She's a personal friend of mine. (Yes, sir!)

Oh, you can easily see she's not my auntie,
'Cause my auntie's really quite a bore.
You can easily see she's not my grandma,
'Cause my grandma doesn't get around the town any more.
You can easily see she's not my teacher,
'Cause my teacher's still in school.
She's just a pretty little gal, a wonderful pal..
She's a personal friend of mine.

You can easily see she's not my cousin,
'Cause my cousin's too refined.
She's just a pretty little gal, a wonderful pal
She's a real good friend (a real good friend).
She's a very close friend. (She's a very close friend.)
She's a personal friend of mine.
