(1951) Irving Berlin

|
I don't want him you can have him
|
He's not worth fighting for
|
Besides there's plenty more where he came from
|
I don't want him you can have him
|
I'm giving him the sack
|
And he can go right back where he came from
|
I'm afraid I never loved him
|
Sweetie he'd be better off with you
|
I could never make him happy
|
|
All I ever wanted to do was
|
Run my fingers through his curly locks
|
Mend his underwear and darn his socks
|
Fetch his slippers and remove his shoes
|
Wipe his glasses when he's read the news
|
Rub his forehead with a gentle touch
|
Mornings after when he's had a little too much
|
Kiss him gently when he cuddles near
|
And give him babies one for every year
|
|
So you see that I don't want him you can have him
|
You can have him cos I don't want him
|
Because he's not the man for me
|
Then I'd close the window while he soundly slept
|
Then I'd raid the icebox where the food is kept
|
I'd fix the breakfast that would please him most
|
Eggs and coffee some apricot juice and some buttered toast
|
Oh oh then I'd go out and buy the papers
|
And when they've been read spend the balance of the day in bed
|
|
So you see that I don't want him you can have him
|
You can have him cos I don't want him because he's not my man
|
I don't want him you can have him
|
You can have him I don't want him
|
You can have him I don't want him
|
Cos he's not the man for me
