# 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 #
:40:33
# 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 #
:40:50
# 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! #
:41:03
# You were a man of grace and polish #
:41:06
# Who never spoke above a hush #
:41:09
# Now all at once you're using language #
:41:11
# That would make a sailor blush #
:41:14
# Let a woman in your life #
:41:16
# And you're plunging in a knife! #
:41:20
# Let the others of my sex #
:41:22
# Tie the knot around their necks #
:41:25
# I'd prefer a new edition
Of the Spanish Inquisition #
:41:28
# Than to ever let a woman in my life #
:41:34
# I'm a quiet-living man #
:41:37
# Who prefers to spend the evenings #
:41:39
# In the silence of his room #
:41:41
# Who likes an atmosphere as restful #
:41:43
# As an undiscovered tomb #
:41:45
# A pensive man am I
Of philosophic joys #
:41:49
# Who likes to meditate, contemplate #
:41:53
# Free from humanity's mad, inhuman noise #
:41:59
# A quiet-living man #
