Reet Petite (The Sweetest Girl in Town) (originally subtitled "The Finest Girl You Ever Want to Meet") is a song written by Berry Gordy, Billy Davis, and Gwen Gordy Fuqua and made popular by Jackie Wilson in his 1957 recording of the song for the Brunswick label.
It was his first solo hit after leaving the Dominoes and has become one of his biggest international chart successes in the years since.
It was the UK Christmas number one in 1986, almost three years after Jackie Wilson's death.

Lyrics:

Well, lookabell, lookabell, lookabell, lookabell
Oooh, weee
Lookabell, lookabell, lookabell
Oooh, weee
Ooh, ah, ooh, ah, ooh wee

(Alternate first verse:
Well, look there, look there, look there, look there,
ooh, wee
Look there, look there, look there,
ooh wee
Ooh, ahh, ooh, ahh, ooh, wee)

Well, she's so fine, fine, fine
She's so fine, fa fa fine
She's so fine
She's so fine, fine, fine
She's really sweet, the kindest girl you ever want to meet

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Rrrr Reet Petite, the finest girl you ever want to meet

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

Well, she really fills her clothes
From her head to toe
I want the world to know
I love her, love her so
She's alright, she's alright
She's alright
She loves me day and night

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Rrrr Reet Petite the finest girl you ever want to meet

Oh
Well, she's like honey from a bee
And like bees from a tree, I love her, need her
She means so much to me
She's alright, she's got what it takes
She's got what it takes and to me she really rates

Well, oh now she's my cutie, my tutti frutti
My heart, my love, my bathing beauty, she's alright
She's got just what it takes, she's got what it takes
And to me she really rates

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Rrr Reet Petite the finest girl you ever want to meet
Rrr Reet Petite the finest girl you ever want to meet
Rrr Reet Petite the finest girl you ever want to meet
