Betty Hutton - You Can't Get a Man with a Gun lyrics

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 And 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 cellar 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 morning 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 shot the herder They'd holler bloody murder And you can't get a hug From a mug with a slug 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 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 Cause a man may be hot But he's not When he's shot Oh, 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 shoot a male In the tail like a quail Oh you can't get a man with a gun
