You Can Have Him Lyrics - Irving Berlin

You can have him 

I don't want him 

He's not worth fighting for 

Besides there's plenty more where he came from 

I don't want him 

You can have him 

I'm giving him the sack 

And he can go right back where he came from 

I could never make him happy 

He'd be better off with you 

I'm afraid I never loved him 

All I ever wanted to do was 

Run my fingers thru his curly locks 

Mend his underwear and darn his socks 

Fetch his slippers and remove his shoes 

Wipe his glasses when he read the news 

Rub his forehead with a gentle touch 

Mornings after when he's had too much 

Kiss him gently when he cuddled near 

Give him babies one for ev'ry year, so you see 

I don't want him, you can have him 

You can have him, I don't want him 

For he's not the man for me 

You can have him 

I don't want him 

He's not worth fighting for 

Besides there's plenty more where he came from 

I don't want him 

You can have him 

He isn't my concern 

And he can just return where he came from 

I would look a trifle silly 

Taking him away from you 

That was never my intention 

All I ever wanted to do was 

Close the window while he soundly slept 

Raid the icebox where the food is kept 

Cook a breakfast that would please him most 

Eggs and coffee and some buttered toast 

Wake him gently with a breakfast tray 

After breakfast clear the things away 

Bring the papers and when they've been read 

Spend the balance of the day in bed, so you see 

I don't want him, you can have him 

You can have him, I don't want him 

For he's not the man for me
