[00:00]Better Off Without a Wife
[00:11.66]
[00:15.67] all my friends are married
[00:18.42] every Tom and **** and Harry
[00:21.54] you must be strong
[00:22.67] to go it alone
[00:27.04] here's to the bachelors
[00:29.29] and the bowery bums
[00:31.54] and those who feel that they're the ones
[00:33.79] who are better off without a wife
[00:37.73]
[00:38.92] I like to sleep until the crack of noon
[00:42.98] midnight howlin' at the moon
[00:46.67] goin' out when I wanto, comin' home when I please
[00:52.61] I don't have to ask permission
[00:55.86] if I want to go out fishing
[00:58.80] and I never have to ask for the keys
[01:02.73]
[01:04.86] never been no Valentino
[01:07.86] had a girl who lived in Reno
[01:10.86] left me for a trumpet player
[01:13.99] didn't get me down
[01:16.17] he was wanted for assault
[01:19.17] though he said it weren't his fault
[01:21.92] well the coppers rode him right
[01:24.61] out of town
[01:26.99]
[01:27.56] I like to sleep until the crack of noon
[01:32.00] midnight howlin' at the moon
[01:34.56] goin' out when I wanto, comin' home when I please
[01:41.00] I don't have to ask permission
[01:44.00] if I want to go out fishing
[01:47.06] and I never have to ask for the keys
[01:51.36]
[01:54.49] selfish about my privacy
[01:57.92] as long as I can be with me
[02:00.99] we get along so well I can't believe
[02:05.49] I love to chew the fat with folks
[02:07.68] and listen to all your dirty jokes
[02:10.74] I'm so thankful for these friends
[02:13.05] I do receive
[02:15.80]
[02:16.29] I like to sleep until the crack of noon
[02:20.54] midnight howlin' at the moon
[02:23.17] goin' out when I wanto, comin' home when I please
[02:29.80] I don't have to ask permission
[02:32.61] if I want to go out fishing
[02:35.79] and I never have to ask for the keys
[02:40.11]
