"You Can Have Him" Lyrics

You can have him,
I don't want him,
He's not worth fighting for!
Besides, there's plenty more
Where he came from!

I don't want him,
You can have him,
I'm giving him the sack!
And he can go right back
Where he came from!

I could never make him happy,
He'd be better off with you!
I'm afraid I never loved him,
All I ever wanted to do was;

Run my fingers through his curly locks,
Mend his underwear and darn his socks;
Fetch his slippers and remove his shoes,
Wipe his glasses when he read the news;
Rub his forehead with a gentle touch,
Mornings after when he's had too much!
Kiss him gently when he cuddled near,
Give him babies, one for every year!
So you see;

I don't wan' him,
You can have him,
You can have him,
I don't wan' him,
For he's not the man for me!

You can have him,
I don't want him,
He's not worth fighting for!
Besides, there's plenty more
Where he came from!

I don't want him,
You can have him,
He isn't my concern!
And he can just return
Where he came from!

I would look a trifle silly,
Taking him away from you!
That was never my intention,
All I ever wanted to do was;

Close the window while he soundly slept,
Raid the icebox where the food is kept;
Cook a breakfast that would please him most,
Eggs and coffee snd some buttered toast;
Wake him gently with a breakfast tray,
after breakfast clear the things away;
Bring the papers, and when they've been read,
Spend the balance of the day in bed!
So you see;

I don't wan' him,
You can have him,
You can have him,
I don't wan' him,
For he's not the man for me!
