Lyrics by Barry Clark
Arranged by Big Dumb Animals
Well bred and educated, he's Ivy League;
Boyish good looks with personality
Witty and wry with his hair blown dry,
He's every mother's dream, he's every girls' guy.
Always in demand, always in control,
He gets top billing when the credits roll.
Says he loves you with his heart and soul,
But let me ask you this if I may be so bold...
Chorus:
Can he shimmy like Mick Jagger
Get punched and never stagger?
Show you a good time
And not spend a dime?
Can he rumple your clothes
And curl your toes
Like somebody like me?
At all his parties he's the perfect host.
Me, I'm in the kitchen telling dirty jokes.
He'll sigh "I love you, baby," in your ear.
Me I'll shout "I love you, baby" loud and clear.
Bridge:
I'm not the picture of perfection, no diamond in the rough,
I've always loved you, ain't that enough?
He can blow in like the breeze, but he can't sweep you off your feet,
Like somebody like me.
Last chorus:
He can't shimmy, sway and swagger
Get drunk and never stagger,
Show you a good time
And not spend a dime,
He can't iron your clothes
Or paint your toes
Like somebody like me.
Another snappy Barry Clark original -- genesis of the "Happy Cynical Tunes For Our Times" theme of our early material. Rae now sings leads on this one...
