1
Oh it's just kind of little anthem here
2
All my friends are married
3
Every Tom and Dick and Harry
4
You must be strong to go it alone
5
Here's to the bachelors and the Bowery bums
6
And those who feel that they're the ones
7
Who are better off without a wife
8
I been sleepin' until the crack of noon
9
Midnight howlin' at the moon
10
Goin' out when I want to, and I'm comin' home when I please
11
I don't have to ask permission if I want to go out fishing
12
And I never have to ask for the keys
13
I never been no Valentino
14
But I had a girl who lived in Reno
15
Left me for a trumpet player didn't get me down
16
He was wanted for assault
17
Though he said it weren't his fault
18
You know the coppers rode him right out of town
19
I been sleepin' until the crack of noon
20
Midnight howlin' at the moon
21
Goin' out when I want to, comin' home when I please
22
Don't have to ask permission if I want to go out fishing
23
Never have to ask for the keys
24
They say I'm kind of selfish about my privacy
25
Now as long as I can be with me
26
We get along so well I can't believe
27
I love to chew the fat with folks
28
I have been listenin' to all your dirty jokes
29
I'm so thankful for these friends I do receive
30
I been sleepin' until the crack of noon
31
Midnight howlin' at the moon
32
Goin' out when I want to, comin' home when I please
33
Don't have to ask permission if I want to go out fishing
34
Never have to ask for the keys, no
35
Yeah, I got this girl, I know man this
36
She been married several times
37
I don't want to end up like her
38
I mean she been married so many times
39
She got bright sparks all over her face
40
