About Boy Wanted
"Boy Wanted" is a 1921 song composed by George Gershwin, with lyrics by Ira Gershwin. It was introduced in the musical A Dangerous Maid (1921). In his 1997 book Ira Gershwin: The Art of the Lyricist, Philip Furia describes "Boy Wanted" as featuring "by far the most ambitious lyric" in A Dangerous Maid and likens it to a "catalogue song" reminiscent of the work of Gilbert and Sullivan. The lyrics recount the efforts of four girls describing the ideal qualities of a future partner in the style of a newspaper advertisement.
