Could You Use Me? |
| Have some pity on an Easterner |
| Show a little sympathy |
| No one could possibly be sterner |
| Than you have been with me |
| There’s a job that I’m applying for |
| Let me put it to you thus: |
| It’s a partnership I’m dying for |
| Mr. and Mrs. Us |
| Before you file it on the shelf |
| Let me tell you of myself |
| Oh, I’m the chappie |
| To make you happy |
| I’ll tie your shoeses |
| And chase your blueses |
| Oh lady, would you |
| Oh tell me, could you use me? |
| I’d shake the mat out |
| And put the cat out |
| I’d clean the garret |
| And feed the parrot |
| Oh lady, would you |
| Oh tell me, could you use me? |
| Do you realize what a good man |
| You’re getting in me? |
| I’m no Elk or Mason or Woodman |
| Who gets home at three |
| The girls who see me |
| Grow soft and dreamy |
| But I’m a gander |
| Who won’t philander |
| Oh could you use me? |
| 'Cause I certainly could use you |
| There’s a chap I know in Mexico |
| Who’s as strong as he can be |
| Eating nails and drinking Texaco |
| He is the type for me |
| There is one in California |
| More romantic far than you |
| When he sings «ha cha cha chornia» |
| I often think he’ll do |
| But as for you, sir, I’m afraid |
| You will never make the grade |
| For you’re no cowboy |
| You’re soft, and how, boy |
| I feel no muscle |
| That’s fit for tussle |
| I must refuse you |
| I cannot use you |
| No night life for you |
| The birds would bore you |
| The cows won’t know you |
| A horse would throw you |
| You silly man, you |
| To ask me «Can you use me?» |
| Though at love you may be a wizard |
| I’m wanting to know |
| Could you warm me up in a blizzard |
| Say, forty below |
| Your ties are freakish |
| Your knees look weakish |
| Go back to flappers |
| And highball lappers |
| Though you can use me |
| I most certainly can’t use you |
| (dance break) |
| I’d love to rough it |
| You’d only muff it |
| You’d better track home |
| You’re safer back home |
| Oh lady would you |
| Oh tell me, could you use me? |
| If we’ve no butler |
| I’ll put the cutler |
| Up on the table |
| As well’s I’m able |
| I’d slave as few would |
| If only you could use me |
| You don’t even know how to lasso |
| A bull or a steer |
| When I speak to them in my basso |
| They’ll worry, don’t fear |
| I’ll be no bother |
| I’ll make a father |
| Like no other |
| If you’re the mother |
| Oh could you use me? |
| 'Cause I certainly could use you |
