Lyrics
Have some pity on an easterner,
Show a little sympathy
No one possibly could be sterner
Than you have been with me.
There's a job that Im applying for
Let me put it to you thus
There's a partnership Im dying for
Mr. and Mrs. Us
Before you file it on the shelf,
Let me tell you of myself
Oh I'm the chappy to make ya happy
I'll tie your shoesies, and chase your bluesies
Oh lady would you, oh lady could you use me
I'd shake the mat out and put the cat out
I'd clean the garret and feed the parrot
Oh lady would you, oh tell me could you use me?
Do you realize what a good man your getting in me?
I'm no elker mason or woodman who gets home at three
The girls that see me grow soft and dreamy
But I'm a gander that won't falander
Oh could you use me, cause I certainly could use you
There's a chap I know in mexico
Who's as strong as he can be
Eating nails and drinking texaco
He is the type for me
There is one in california
More romantic far than you
When he sings ha cha cha chornia
I often think he'll do
But as for you sir, I'm afraid
You will never make the grade
For you're no cowboy, you're soft, and how, boy
I feel no muscle that's fit for tussel
I must refuse you, I cannot use you
'scuse me
No night life for you
The birds would bore you
The cows won't know you,
A horse would throw you,
You silly man you
To ask me, can you use me?
Though at love you may be a wizard, I'm wanting to know
Could you warm me up in a blizzard
Say, forty below
Your ties are freakish
Your knees are weakish
Your not a zender, you elbow bender
Though you can use me
I most certainly can't use you
