Lyrics Skylark (Remastered) - Dinah Shore
I
HAD
A
MAN.
HE
WAS
A
GOOD
MAN.
THAT
IS,
YOU
SEE,
WHAT
I
MEAN
IS
I
THOUGHT
HE
WAS
A
GOOD
MAN.
I
HAD
A
FRIEND.
SHE
WAS
A
GOOD
FRIEND.
I
TOLD
MY
FRIEND
'BOUT
MY
MAN
'CAUSE
I
THOUGHT
SHE
WAS
A
GOOD
FRIEND.
LIFE
WAS
SWEET.
DIDN'T
I
HAVE
MY
MAN?
WORLD
COMPLETE...
THEN
THE
FIREWORKS
BEGAN.
AIN'T
GOT
NO
MAN.
AIN'T
GOT
NO
FRIEND.
I
BET
YOU
CAN
GUESS
JUST
EXACTLY
WHAT
HAPPENED.
THAT
WAS
THE
END,
THE
END
OF
MY
FRIEND,
THE
END
OF
MY
MAN,
AND
ALMOST
THE
END
OF
ME.
OH
YES,
OH
YES,
I
HAD
A
MAN.
OOO-DOO-DOO-DOO-DOO,
THAT
IS,
YOU
SEE,
WHAT
I
MEAN
IS
I
THOUGHT
HE
WAS
A
GOOD
MAN.
I
HAD
A
FRIEND
I
SAID,
I
HAD
A
FRIEND
UMM-MMM-MMM-MMM-MMM
I
TOLD
MY
FRIEND
'BOUT
MY
MAN
'CAUSE
I
THOUGHT
SHE
WAS
A
GOOD
FRIEND.
LIFE
WAS
SWEET.
DIDN'T
I
HAVE
MY
MAN,
MY
MAN
WORLD
COMPLETE...
THEN
THE
FIREWORKS
BEGAN.
AIN'T
GOT
NO
MAN.
AIN'T
GOT
NO
FRIEND.
I
BET
YOU
CAN
GUESS
JUST
EXACTLY
WHAT
HAPPENED.
THAT
WAS
THE
END,
THE
END
OF
MY
FRIEND,
THE
END
OF
MY
MAN,
AND
DARNED
NEAR
THE
END
OF
ME.
