| A woman is the sweetest thing
|
| On that we all agree
|
| But when she gets the wedding band
|
| A mans no longer free
|
| That’s why I’m safe, sane and single
|
| I’m on my merry way
|
| Yes I’m safe, sane and single
|
| That’s how I’m gonna stay
|
| A wife and husband came upon
|
| The parting of their ways
|
| The judge gave her the bank account
|
| And gave him 90 days
|
| That’s why I’m safe, sane and single
|
| I’m on my merry way
|
| Yes I’m safe, sane and single
|
| That’s how I’m gonna stay
|
| A friend of mine got married
|
| To a gal named Nellie Gray
|
| She pawned his watch then sold his car
|
| And gave his clothes away
|
| That’s why I’m safe, sane and single
|
| I’m on my merry way
|
| Yes I’m safe, sane and single
|
| That’s how I’m gonna stay
|
| I met a gal in Birmingham
|
| And thereby hangs a tale
|
| She had a husband doing time
|
| Another out on bail
|
| That’s why I’m safe, sane and single
|
| I’m on my merry way
|
| Yes I’m safe, sane and single
|
| That’s how I’m gonna stay
|
| Ha, ha, ha, I got one
|
| I courted a gal for 15 years
|
| Her Pa said we should wed
|
| If my horse could only cook
|
| I’d marry him instead
|
| That’s why I’m safe, sane and single
|
| I’m on my merry way
|
| Yes I’m safe, sane and single
|
| That’s how I’m gonna stay
|
| Thank God I’m safe, Thank God I’m safe,
|
| Yes I’m safe, sane and single
|
| That how I’m gonna stay
|
| Thank God I’m safe, Thank God I’m safe,
|
| Yes I’m safe, sane and single
|
| That how I’m gonna stay!
|
| Thank God I’m safe, Thank God I’m safe,
|
| Yes I’m safe, sane and single
|
| That how I’m gonna stay!
|
| Now you got that? |
