[Frank Zappa - Honey, Don't You Want A Man Like Me? lyrics]
Honey honey, hey
Baby don't you want a man like me
Honey honey, hey
Baby don't you want a man like me
He was the Playboy Type (he smoked a pipe)
His fav'rite phrase was "OUTA-SITE!"
He had an Irish Setter (Hrtch-a-pltch
Hrtch-a-pltch hrtch-a-pltch
Arf) it was a singles bar, a Tuesday night
The moon was dim, the band was tight
They did the Bump together
What a splendid sight (Roon doon doon doon)
Her teeth were white (Oo ah oo oooh)
The drinks were cheap (it was Ladies Nite)
He was glad that he met her
She was an office girl ("My name is Betty")
Her fav'rite group was HELEN REDDY
(They discussed the weather)
Honey honey, hey
Baby don't you want a man like me
Honey honey, hey
Baby don't you want a man like me
Honey honey, hey baby don't you want a
Baby don't you want a baby don't you want a
Man!
She was a lonely sort
Just a little too short
Her jokes were dumb and her fav'rite sport
Was hockey (in the winter)
He was duly impressed and
Was quick to suggest
Any sport with a PUCK had
To be 'bout the best
As he jabbed his elbow in her
(get it honey? Get it?)
Later on they went off to
Where the music was soft
The candles were drippy
They saw a REAL HIPPY
Who delivered their dinner
The rice was brown, and soon they found
That the crowd around that
Had jammed the room
Well it seemed to be getting thinner
Honey honey, hey
Baby don't you want a man like me
Honey honey, hey
Baby don't you want a man like me
Honey honey, hey baby don't you want a
Baby don't you want a baby don't you want a
Man!
He took her home to a motor court
She would not kiss him, he tried to ignore it
But it made him angry!
(Angry! It made me angry!
Why it made me so angry
I could have killed that lousy bitch)
He called her a slut (Slut slut slut)
A pig (Pig pig pig)
And a whore (Whore whore whore)
A bitch (Bitch bitch bitch)
And a cunt (Cunt cunt cunt)
And she slammed the door (The door)
In a petulant frenzy! (A petulant frenzy!
This is a petulant frenzy!
I'm petulant and I'm having a frenzy)
On the sofa she weeps bOO HOO HOO HOO
She weeps and she weeps
Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
She weeps and she peeps through the curtain
He just got in his car
But the battery's dead
So he asked to use the phone
And she gives him some head
And that's the end of the story
Honey honey, hey
Baby don't you want a man like me
Honey honey, hey
Baby don't you want a man like me
Honey honey, hey baby don't you want a
Baby don't you want a baby don't you want a
Man! Baby don't you want a man sometimes?
Baby don't you want a man like me
Honey honey, hey
Baby don't you want a man like me
He was the Playboy Type (he smoked a pipe)
