Lyrics Good for Nothing - Rosemary Clooney, Marlene Dietrich

Good for Nothing

Good for nothin'
Men are good for nothin'
I never saw a good one yet
Good for nothin'
Men are good for nothin'
And if you love 'em nothin’s what you’ll get
He will swear he’s seeking
Your love for ever more
And then he comes home reeking
Of perfume you never wore
You’ll maybe wanna shoot him
But he isn’t worth the shot
And you can bet the other woman
Has found out he’s not so hot
Good for nothin'
Men are good for nothin'
I never saw a good one yet
Good for nothin'
Men are good for nothin'
And if you love 'em nothin’s what you’ll get
He says he’ll surprise you
With diamonds and with mink
But the only things he buys you
Are a wringer and a sink
He may be full of glamour
At the opera in a box
But he ain’t so darned attractive
When you’re washin' out his socks
Good for nothin'
Men are good for nothin'
I never saw a good one yet
Good for nothin'
Men are good for nothin'
And if you love 'em nothin’s what you’ll get
Their wiley arts, their tender pleas
Their fickle hearts, their knobby knees
Good for nothin'
Men are good for nothin'
A girl who’s smart will leave 'em be.
Good for nothin'
Men are good for nothin'
But can we do without 'em, No Sir-eee
But can we do without 'em, No sir-eee
