He's a Good Man to Have Around

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

And that's a man

There's one thing keeps a woman always in doubt

And that's a man

I'm no exception to the rule

I know they say that I'm a fool

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

And that's a man

He's not good-lookin', 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

He's not a stepper, he can't even waltz

In conversation he st-st-m-m-m-m-stammers and halts

Poor little sweet man with all his faults

He's a good man to have around

Sometimes I fly off my lid

"Go this minute," I shout

But if he did, I would die without him

He's not exactly my idea of

The perfect lover from heaven above

But what's the difference? The man you love

Is a good man to have around

Sometimes when he starts a 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 the things that he's done

Can't pull the trigger, the son of a gun

He's a good man to have around
