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 |
