(1951) irving berlin
I dont want him you can have him
Hes not worth fighting for
Besides theres plenty more where he came from
I dont want him you can have him
Im giving him the sack
And he can go right back where he came from
Im afraid I never loved him
Sweetie hed be better off with you
I could never make him happy
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 hes read the news
Rub his forehead with a gentle touch
Mornings after when hes had a little too much
Kiss him gently when he cuddles near
And give him babies one for every year
So you see that I dont want him you can have him
You can have him cos I dont want him
Because hes not the man for me
Then Id close the window while he soundly slept
Then Id raid the icebox where the food is kept
Id fix the breakfast that would please him most
Eggs and coffee some apricot juice and some buttered toast
Oh oh then Id go out and buy the papers
And when theyve been read spend the balance of the day in bed
So you see that I dont want him you can have him
You can have him cos I dont want him because hes not my man
I dont want him you can have him
You can have him I dont want him
You can have him I dont want him
Cos hes not the man for me
