| 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? |
