Hammerstein Oscar - All Er Nothin' lyrics
Your rating:
You'll have to be a little more standoffish When fellers offer you a buggy ride I'll give an imitation of a crawfish And dig myself a hole where I can hide I heard how you was kicken' up some capers When I was off in Kansas City, Mo. I heard some things you couldn't print in papers From fellers who been talkin' like they know! Foot! I only did the kind of things I orta, sorta To you I was as faithful as can be, for me Them stories 'bout the way I lost my bloomers-rumors! A lot of tempest in a pot o' tea! The whole don't sound very good to me. Well, you see I go and sow my last wild oat I cut out all shenanigans I save my money, don't gamble or drink In the back room down at Flannigans! I give up lotsa other things A gentleman never mentions But before I give up any more I wanna know your intentions! With me, it's all er nuthin' Is it all or nuthin' with you? It cain't be in between It can't be now and then No half and half romance will do! I'm a one woman man, home lovin' type All complete with slippers and pipe Take me like I am er leave me be! If you can't give me all, give me nuthin' And nuthin's what you'll git from me Not even somethin' Nuthin's what you'll git from me! It cain't be in between nnn-mmm It cain't be now and then No half and half romance will do Would you build me a house All painted white Cute and clean and purty and bright Big enough fer two but not fer three! Suposin' that we should have a third one He'd better look a lot like me No spittin' image He'd better look a lot like me! With you it's all er nuthin' All fer you and nothin' fer me But if a wife is wise, she's gotta realize That men like you are wild and free So I ain't gonna fuss, ain't gonna frown Have your fun, go out on the town Stay up late and don't come home til three! And go right off to sleep if you're sleepy There's no use waitin' up fer me Oh, Ado Annie! No use waitin' up fer me! Come back and kiss me
