Better Off Without a Wife Lyrics

All my friends are married
Every Tom and d*** and Harry
You must be strong
To go it alone
Here's to the bachelors
And the bowery b**s
And those who feel that they're the ones
Who are better off without a wife
[Chorus:]
I like to sleep until the crack of noon
Midnight howlin' at the moon
Goin' out when I wanto, comin' home when I please
I don't have to ask permission
If I want to go out fishing
And I never have to ask for the keys
Never been no Valentino
Had a girl who lived in Reno
Left me for a trumpet player
Didn't get me down
He was wanted for a**ault
Though he said it weren't his fault
Well the coppers rode him right
Out of town
[Chorus]

Selfish about my privacy
As long as I can be with me
We get along so well I can't believe
I love to chew the fat with folks
And listen to all your dirty jokes
I'm so thankful for these friends
I do receive

[Chorus]
