He’s A Good Man To Have Around - Kay Starr

There’s one thing that a woman can’t live without

And that’s a man!

There’s one thing that keeps a woman always in doubt

And that’s a man!

Now I’m no exception to this rule

I know thay say that I’m a fool

But there’s one thing that I’m simply crazy about

And that’s my man!

He’s not good looking, not handsome or tall

I couldn’t tell you how he made me fall;

There’s nothin' to him, but still and all

He’s a good man to have around!

Ge’s not a stepper, can’t even waltz

In conversation he stammers and halts;

Poor little sweet man, with all his faults

He’s a good man to have around!

And at times when I fly off my lid

«Go this minute!», I shout

But if he did

I would die without him!

He’s not exactly my ides of

The perfect lover from heaven above!

But what’s the difference, the man you love

Is a good man to have around!

You wouldn’t like him, he’s not on the show;

Not to be trusted, I learned long ago!

Just good for nothin', But I don’y know

He’s a good man to have around!

When dinner’s over, I turn and he’s gone

I hear him sneakin' along about dawn!

I don’t say nothin', 'cause from then on

He’s a good man to have around!

And at times, when he starts to row

I don’t care if I live!

But he knows how to make me forgive him!

Bought a revolver, I don’t mean for fun!

I oughta shoot him for things that he’s done!

But I can’t pull the trigger, son of a gun!

He’s a good man to have around!
