:39:00
"Than just an ordinary chance
:39:02
"To live exactly as he likes
:39:05
"And do precisely what he wants
:39:07
"An average man, am I
:39:09
"Of no eccentric whim
:39:11
"Who likes to live his life
:39:13
"Free of strife
:39:14
"Doing whatever he thinks is best for him
:39:19
"Oh, just an ordinary man
:39:24
"But let a woman in your life
:39:27
"And your serenity is through
:39:30
"She'll redecorate your home
From the cellar to the dome
:39:32
"Then go on to the enthralling fun
of overhauling you!
:39:38
"Let a woman in your life
:39:40
"And you are up against a wall
:39:43
"Make a plan and you will find
She has something else in mind
:39:46
"So rather than do either
You do something else that neither
:39:48
"Likes at all!
:39:51
"You want to talk of Keats or Milton
:39:54
"She only wants to talk of love
:39:56
"You go to see a play or ballet
:39:59
"And spend it searching for her glove
:40:01
"Let a woman in your life
:40:04
"And you invite eternal strife
:40:07
"Let them buy their wedding bands
:40:10
"For those anxious little hands
:40:13
"I'd be equally as willing
For a dentist to be drilling
:40:16
"Than to ever let a woman in my life!
:40:21
"I'm a very gentle man
:40:24
"Even-tempered and good-natured
Whom you never hear complain
:40:28
"Who has the milk of human kindness
By the quart in every vein
:40:32
"A patient man am I
Down to my fingertips
:40:37
"The sort who never could
Ever would
:40:40
"Let an insulting remark escape his lips
:40:46
"A very gentle man
:40:49
"But let a woman in your life
:40:52
"And patience hasn't got a chance
:40:55
"She will beg you for advice
Your reply will be concise
:40:58
"And she'll listen very nicely
:40:59
"Then go out and do precisely
What she wants!
