Better Off Without A Wife
all my friends are married every Tom and Dick and Harry you must be strong to go it alone here's to the bachelors and the bowery bums and those who feel that they're the ones who are better off without a wife
I like to sleep until the crack of noon midnight howlin' at the moon goin' out when I wanto, comin' home when I please I don't have to ask permission if I want to go out fishing and I never have to ask for the keys
never been no Valentino had a girl who lived in Reno left me for a trumpet player didn't get me down he was wanted for assault though he said it weren't his fault well the coppers rode him right out of town
(chorus)
selfish about my privacy as long as I can be with me we get along so well I can't believe I love to chew the fat with folks and listen to all your dirty jokes I'm so thankful for these friends I do receive
(chorus)

All my friends are married Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Every Tom and Dick and Harry You must be strong to go it alone Here's to the bachelors and the Bowery bums And those who feel that they're the ones Who are better off without a wife
I been sleepin' until the crack of noon Midnight howlin' at the moon Goin' out when I want to, and I'm comin' home when I please I don't have to ask permission if I want to go out fishing And I never have to ask for the keys
I never been no Valentino But I had a girl who lived in Reno Left me for a trumpet player didn't get me down He was wanted for assault Though he said it weren't his fault You know the coppers rode him right out of town
I been sleepin' until the crack of noon Midnight howlin' at the moon Goin' out when I want to, comin' home when I please Don't have to ask permission if I want to go out fishing Never have to ask for the keys
They say I'm kind of selfish about my privacy Now as long as I can be with me We get along so well I can't believe I love to chew the fat with folks I have been listenin' to all your dirty jokes I'm so thankful for these friends I do receive
I been sleepin' until the crack of noon Midnight howlin' at the moon Goin' out when I want to, comin' home when I please Don't have to ask permission if I want to go out fishing Never have to ask for the keys, no
Yeah, I got this girl, I know man this She been married several times I don't want to end up like her I mean she been married so many times She got bright sparks all over her face Yeah you know the kind
