lyrics

I’m your girl, and you’re my fella
Our love is tried and true
But it’s time to be pragmatic
And practical, me and you

I need a wealthy husband
You need a doting wife
So let’s marry other people
And be happy for the rest of our life

With all my faults you love me
And I think that you’re perfectly swell
But we need a man with money
And a woman who’ll treat us well

He would bring the bacon home
While she would bake us pies
We could do what we do best
We’d be so content, you and I

We could live a life of ease
Totally lacking in strife
If we had a wealthy husband
And we had a doting wife

(second bridge)
He’ll take us on shopping sprees
To Paris and to Rome
She’ll bring us our slippers
When we’d rather lounge around at home

We could live a life of ease
Totally lacking in strife
If we had a wealthy husband
And we had a doting wife
