YOU CAN HAVE HIM ( by Irving Berlin )
Jazz-ballad from the album "NINA at TOWNHALL" New York 1959
Lyrics:
I DONT 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 OF WITH YOU
I COULD NEVER MAKE HIM HAPPY
ALL I EVER WANTED TO DO WAS
RUN MY FINGERS THRU 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
MORNING'S 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
CAUSE I DON'T WANT HIM
BECAUSE HE'S NOT THE MAN ..FOR ME
THEN I CLOSE THE WINDOW WHILE HE SOUNDLY SLEPT
RAID THE ICEBOX WHERE THE FOOD IS KEPT
FIX HIM BREAKFAST THAT WOULD PLEASE HIM MOST
EGGS AND COFFEE AND SOME BUTTERED TOAST
THEN I GO OUT AND BUY THE PAPERS
AND WHEN THEY'VE BEEN READ
SPEND THE BALANCE OF THE DAY IN BED,SO YOU SEE
I DON'T WANT HIM , YOU CAN HAVE HIM
YOU CAN HAVE HIM ,CAUSE I DON'T WANT HIM
CAUSE HE'S NOT THE MAN FOR ME..............
