Got a house and a car
And a wedding ring
But I don't know what

I'll do without a wife

I want a girl who's pretty

Kind of warm and sweet
To bring a little love
Into my life


There comes a time
When a fellow knows

He oughta settle down
Gotta find the girl
To call his own and

Stop all this roving round

Yeah, got a chair and a

Table and a four post bed
And a garden where the
Air smells sweet


But I need a girl to
Share my everything

And make my lonely
Life complete


I saved my money
Got a steady job
Built a dream house

Just for two

I bought a sports coupe

Just the other day
And a golden wedding ring too


But the time grows short
And the nights grow long
And it's mighty peculiar life


With a house and a car
And a wedding ring

But I don't know what
I'll do without a wife
