paroles de chanson You Can't Get a Man with a Gun - Ethel Merman

Oh my mother was frightened by a shotgun they say
That's why I'm such a wonderful shot
I'd be out in the cactus and I'd practice all day
But now tell me what have I got?
I'm quick on the trigger, with targets not much bigger than a pinpoint
I'm number one
But my score with a feller, is lower than a celler
Oh you can't get a man with a gun
When I'm with a pistol I sparkle like a crystal, yes I shine like the mornin' sun
But I lose all my luster, when with a bronco buster

Oh you can't get a man with a gun
With a gun, with a gun
No you can't get a man with a gun

If I went to battle, with someone's herd of cattle
You'd have steak when the job was done
But if I shot the herder, they'd holler bloody murder
And you can'y shoot a male in the tail like a quail
Oh you can't get a man with a gun

I'm cool, brave and daring
To see a lion glaring
When I'm out with my Remington
But a look from a mister
Will raise a fever blister
Oh you can't get a man with a gun
The gals with "umbrellars"
Are always out with fellers
In the rain or the blazing sun
But a man never trifles
With gals who carry rifles

Oh you can't get a man with a gun
With a gun, with a gun
No, you can't get a man with a gun

A man's love is mighty
He'll even buy a nightie
For a gal who he thinks is fun
But they don't buy pajamas
For Pistol packin' mamas
And you can't get a hug from a mug, with a slug
Oh you can't get a man with a gun

If I shot a rabbit, some furrier would grab it
For a coat that would warm someone
But you can't shoot a lover and use him for a cover
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun

If I shot an eagle, although it wasn't legal
He'd be stuffed when the job was done
But you can't stuff a feller and watch him turnin' yeller

Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
With a gun, with a gun
No, you can't get a man with a gun

A Tom, Dick, or Harry
Will build a house for Carrie
When the preacher has made them one
But he can't build you houses
With buckshot in his trousers
For a man may be hot
But he's not
When he's shot
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
