Lyrics for P.O. Box 9847

Handsome, single, young man well respected in his town Seeks a fine, young lady from a similar background Generous, responsible, successful man of means Socialize with presidents and queens Reply P. O. Box 9847 P. O. Box 9847 I've described me very poorly Better try again Quiet, sincere, gentleman, well rounded and mature Fond of music and the arts, loves the theater Educated, sensitive, a trav'ler of the world Wants to meet an eligible young girl Reply P. O. Box 9847 P. O. Box 9847 I've been writing, advertising That's not really me Lonely, understanding man, affectionate and true Looking for a girl to share his dreams and make them true Humble, loving, sensitive, considerate and shy Only sincere ladies need reply Reply P. O. Box 9847 P. O. Box 9847 I'm not liking what I'm typing Throw it all away
