She walks like an angel walks
She talks like an angel talks
And her hair has a kind of curl
To my mind she's my kind of girl

She's wise like an angel's wise
With eyes like an angel's eyes
And her smile's like a kind of pearl
To my mind she's my kind of girl

Groovy little face
That face just knocks me off-a my feet
Pretty little feet
She's really sweet enough to eat

Boy, she looks a-like an angel looks
She cooks like an angel cooks
And my mind's in a kind of a whirl
'Cause to my mind she's my kind of girl

Pretty little face
That face just knocks me off-a my feet
Pretty little feet
She's really sweet enough to eat

Man, she looks like an angel looks
And she cooks a-like an angel cooks
And my mind's in a kind of a whirl
'Cause to my mind she's my kind of girl
And my heart's kinda full of joy
'Cause she told me I'm her kind of boy
My kind of girl
Her kind of boy
My kind of girl

Nathaniel Adams Coles (17 March 1919 – 15 February 1965) was born in Montgomery, Alabama and used the stage name Nat “King” Cole throughout his career as a jazz pianist and later as a singer.

Cole’s first mainstream hit was “Straighten Up and Fly Right” in 1943. Bo Diddley, who performed similar folk-based material said that song was a big influence on him.

In the late 40s, Cole began recording more pop-oriented material. His stature as a pop singer was cemented by hits like “Route 66”, “Mona Lisa” and “Unforgettable”. In the 50s, virtually every home had a copy of his Christmas album.
