Intro To Better Off Without A Wife |
| For all the bachelors out there tonight, yeah for anybody who’s never whistled |
| this song |
| Maybe you whistled it but you lost the sheet music |
| Um… this is um… well actually I don’t mind going to weddings or anything |
| As long as there not my own I show up |
| But I’ve always kinda been partial to calling myself up on the phone and asking |
| myself out, you know? |
| Oh yeah, you call yourself up too huh? |
| Yeah, well one thing about it, |
| your always around |
| Yeah I know, yeah you ask yourself out, you know, some class joint somewhere |
| The Buretto King or something, you know. |
| Well I ain’t cheap you know |
| Take yourself out for a couple of drinks maybe |
| Then there’d be some provocative conversation on the way home |
| Park in front of the house you know |
| Oh yeah, you smoothly put a little nice music on |
| Maybe you put on like uh, you know, like shopping music |
| Something thats not too interruptive you know and then uh slide over real nice |
| and say |
| 'Oh I think you have something in your eye' |
| Well maybe it’s not that romantic with you but Christ I don’t know, |
| you know I get into it you know |
| Take myself up to the porch, take myself inside or maybe uh |
| Or may get a little something, a brandy snifter or something |
| 'Would like you like to listen to some of my back records? |
| I got something here' Uh Well usually about 2.30 in the morning you’ve ended up |
| taking advantage of yourself |
| There ain’t no way around that you know. |
| Yeah, making a scene with a magazine, |
| there ain’t no way around |
| I’ll confess you know, I’m no different you know. |
| I’m not weird about it or |
| anything, I don’t tie myself up first |
| I just kinda spend a little time with myself |
| So this is kind of a little anthem here |
