Any Little Girl That's A Nice Little Girl was published in 1910. The song was written by Tin Pan Alley songwriter Fred Fisher, with lyrics by Thomas J. Gray. Fisher is credited with writing more Irish songs then anyone - according to Ripley's Believe It Or Not. In 1911, Irish crooner Billy Murray famously recorded this song. In 1931, Murray's performance of the song was used in a Max Fleischer Screen Songs cartoon, featuring a "follow the bouncing ball" sing-a-long. Later, in 1933, the song was used in the soundtrack to the film Stage Mother.

ANY LITTLE GIRL THAT'S A NICE LITTLE GIRL
Said she: "My dear, it seems so queer,
I can't please you at all,
You say you're hurt, bacause I flirt,
Let other fellows call.
I bead my eyes. I act too wise.
My manners are too bold:
What girl would do, please tell me do?"
He said: "That's eas'ly told."
"Any little girl, that's a nice little girl,
Is the right little girl for me.
She don't have to look like a girl in a book,
If a good cook she should be.
She don't have to wear rats in her hair,
Or a straight front X.Y.Z.,
Any little girl, that's a nice little girl,
Is the right little girl for me."
