Songinfo

Het nummer is geschreven door Berry Gordy en Roquel Billy Davis (een neef van Jackie Wilson). Het nummer heeft twee verschillende bijtitels gekregen, namelijk The Finest Girl You Ever Want To Meet en The Sweetest Girl In Town. De hoofdtitel komt van Reet, Petite And Gone, een nummer (en tevens filmtitel) van Louis Jordan.

Door de opbrengsten van het originele nummer in 1957 kon Berry Gordy platenlabel Motown oprichten.

In 1987 is het nummer nogmaals uitgebracht. De bijbehorende clip is gemaakt met behulp van klei-animatie.

Het nummer is ook een aantal keer aangehaald in andere liedjes. Zoals in David Bowies Red Money en in Van Morrisons Jackie Wilson Said.

Songtekst

Well, look-a there, look-a there, look-a there, look-a there, ooh wee!
Look-a there, look-a there, look-a there, look-a there, ooh wee!
Oh! Ah! Oh! Ah! Ooh wee!

Well, she's so fine, fine, fine, she's so fine, f- f- fine,
She's so fi-yi-yi-yi-yi-yine, she's so fine, fine, fine.
She's really sweet, the finest girl you ever wanna meet.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, - Oh, oh, oh, oh, -
Reet petite, the finest girl you ever wanna meet.

Well, have you ever seen a girl for whom your soul you'd give,
For who you'd fight for, die for, pray to God to live?
'Cause she's so fine, she's so fine,
She's really sweet, the finest girl you ever wanna meet.

Well, she really fills her clothes from head to toe,
I want the world to know I love her, love her so!
She's all right, she's all right,
She's all right, she loves me day and night.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, - Oh, oh, oh, oh, -
Reet petite, the finest girl you ever wanna meet.
Oh!

Well, she's like honey from a bee, like peaches from a tree,
I love her, need her, she means so much to me!
She's all right, she's got what it takes,
she's got what it takes and with me she really rates.

Well, she's my cutie, my tutti frutti, my heart, my love, my bathing beauty!
She's all right, she's got just what it takes.
She's got what it takes and with me she really rates.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, - Oh, oh, oh, oh, -
Reet petite, the finest girl you ever wanna meet,
Reet petite, the finest girl you ever wanna meet,
Reet petite, the finest girl you ever wanna meet!
