VERSE 1

Don't stamp your foot at me

It's impolite

To stamp your foot at me

Is not quite right.

At man's ingratitude

A woman winks

But such an attitude just stinks.

REFRAIN 1

I have eyes for you to give you dirty looks.

I have words that do not come from children's books

There's a trick with a knife I'm learning to do

And ev'rything I've got belongs to you.

I've a powerful anesthesia in my fist

And the perfect wrist to give your neck atwist.

There are hammerlock holds

I've mastered a few

And ev'rything I've got belongs to you.

Share for share share alike

You get struck each time I strike.

You for me- me for me-

I'll give you plenty of nothing.

I'm not yours for better but for worse

And I've learned to give the well-known witches' curse.

I've a terrible tongue a temper for two

And ev'rything I've got belongs to you.

VERSE 2

Don't raise your voice at me

That's very rude.

To raise your voice at me

Is rather crude.

It's wrong essentially when woman yells

And confidentially it smells.

REFRAIN 2

I'll converse with you on politics at length

I'll protect you with my superhuman strength.

If you're ever attacked I'll scream and say "Boo!''

And ev'rything I've got belongs to you.

I will never stray from home I'll just stay put

'Cause I've got a brand-new thing called athlete' s foot.

I'm a victim of colds anemia too

And ev'rything I've got belongs to you.

Off to bed we will creep

Then we'll sleep and sleep and sleep

Till the birds start to peep.

I'll give you plenty of nothing.

I'll be yours forever and a day

If the first good breeze does not blow me away.

You're enough for one man that's why I'll be true

And ev'rything I've got belongs to you.

ENCORE

You may have some things that I can't use at all.

When I look at you your manly gifts are small.

I've a wonderful way of saying adieu

And ev'rything I've got belongs to you.

You won't know how good I am until you try

And you'll let my well of loneliness run dry.

I've a marvelous way of telling you no

And ev'rything I've got belongs to you.

And ev'rything you want belongs to me!

And ev' rything you need belongs to me!

REPRISE

VERSE

Life has no shape or form

And no design.

It isn't life without

That fool of mine.

I used to gad about

With any chap

And now I'm sad about my sap.

REFRAIN

He's a living thing that isn't quite alive

He has brains enough for any child of five.

Oh he isn't too rich in vigor and vim

But ev'rything I've got belongs to him.

He's a naughty brat that can't be left alone.

He has eyes for ev'ry skirt except my own.

Even under a tree he grabs for the limb

But ev'rything I've got belongs to him.

Something beats in his chest

But it's just a pump at best.

I'm for him he's for him.

He gives me plenty of nothing.

When I see that funny face I know

Something scared his mother twenty years ago.

But I'll never let go he'll never be free!

Till ev'rything he's got belongs to me!

CODA

And ev'rything I've got belongs to him!

And ev'rything I've got belongs to us!
