D
So here am I, a confirmed old bachelor,

who de sires nothing more than
G
just the ordinary chance
C

to live exactly as he likes

and do precisely what he wants.
A
Em
who likes to live his life free of strife,
A
doing whatever he thinks

She'll re decorate your home
from the cellar to the dome,
C
then go on to the enthralling
D
fun
C
Oh, let a woman in your life,
D
and you're up against a wall.
G
Make a plan and you will find
she has something else in mind,
And so rather than do either,
you do something else
C
that neither likes at all.
D
C
D
C
You want to talk of Keats or Norton,
Fsus4
but she only wants to talk of love.

Oh!

Let a woman in your life
D
and invite eternal strife.
C
G
D
Let them buy their wedding bands
C
G
for those anxious little hands.

I'd be equally as willing

C
Whom you'll never hear complain,
Who has the milk
of human kindness
G
by the quart in every vein.
A

A patient man am I,
D
A
Edim
The sort who never could, ever would,
A
G
Let an insulting remark escape his lips.
D
G
Just a very gentle man.
C
But let a woman in your life.
D
Her patience hasn't got a chance.
G
She will beg you for advice,
your reply will be concise,
and she'll listen very nicely,
then go out and do
C
precisely what she wants.
You were a man of grace and polish,
Fsus4
who never spoke above a hush.

who prefers to spend the evenings
C
in the si lence of his room,
B
who likes an atmosphere as restful
Em
G
as an undiscovered tomb,
A
C
a pensive man of mine,
A
D
G
of philosophic joys,
A
Em
who likes to meditate, contemplate,
D
G
He's just a quiet living man.
C
But let a woman in your life,
D
and your sabbatical is through,
G
In a line that never ends
comes an army of her friends
Come to jabber and to chatter
and to tell her what the matter is
She'll have a booming,
boisterous family
D
who will descend on you en masse.
She'll have a large Wag
C
D
nerian mother,
with a voice that shatters glass!

Oh, let a woman in your life!

Let a wo man in your life!

Let a wo man in your life!
