| I’ve looked around the country and I’ve seen it all |
| And what I want I’m ready to name. |
| It’s big and strong and handsome and it’s 6 feet tall. |
| I’m gonna file my claim. |
| I’ve struck a real bonanza and he’s rough and rash, |
| But what he’s got I’m ready to tame. |
| He’s worth a fancy fortune but it’s not in cash, |
| I’m gonna file my claim! |
| I got the fever, ooh, the fever, but not for gold in the ground. |
| I want the title to something vital that I can throw my fences around. |
| A girl should never hustle with a pick and pan to dig for gold, |
| That isn’t her game. |
| I’ll find the man who found it then I’ll get that man, |
| Who’s gonna help me file my claim? |
| I’m gonna file my claim. |
| Ooh, looking for nuggets? Ooh, mush! |
| A, B, C, D, who’s gonna file me under love? |
| There ain’t a man, not a single man! |
| There ain’t a man alive who wouldn’t trade his gold |
| For what it takes to stay in the game. |
| So have you fun and spend before you get too old. |
| Who’s gonna help me file my claim? |
| Who’s gonna help me, help, help me, |
| Who’s gonna help me file my claim.tonight. |
