Men Are Gettin' Scarce

歌詞

Girls, listen, I'm gonna cool you cooks to something Listen to this Men are gettin' scarce, girls Gettin' scarce as hen's teeth, yeah Men are gettin' scarce, girls Gettin' scarce as hen's teeth, yeah There used to be a time When a woman could get a man with just her charms Now in order for a woman to get a man She gotta, she gotta take him She gotta take him, she gotta take him She gotta take him right out of another woman's arms Men are gettin' scarce, girls Oh they're gettin' scarce, girls Gettin' scarce as hen's teeth (Ha ha) And that's mighty scarce Listen to this I was talkin' to this woman the other day Now she said she was gonna quit her man 'Cause he's got a raggedy car Can you get to that? Look here, huh Women are funny though Every time her car is runnin' good They say chile, that's my car Soon as it gets to runnin' bad She say, ah, I don't want that old car That's his car Listen, she gonna say to me She said the other day, she said It runs hot, it burns oil This ole car is beat and rundown The other day the battery fell dead Right in the heart of town, embarrassin' me Let me tell you one thing, baby You tell that man to get a tune up on that car Get a new set of spark plugs, some brand new tires And a new water pump and you keep that man 'Cause let me tell you one thing right now Men are gettin' scarce, girls Ah they're gettin' scarce, girls They're gettin' scarce as hen's teeth (Ha ha) And that's mighty scarce Hold it band, hold it, hold it a minute Say Miss Lady, now you just gonna sit there at that table And eat all the barbecue and ain't gonna give me none Say what? Oh not you again Say LeRoy, here's this woman with them skinny legs again She got a greasy mouth this time Come over here and get this greasy mouth woman She reminds me of them folks up in Navisoda, Texas Eatin' barbecue and drinkin' red soda water on the 19th of June Look here, give me a piece of that barbecue And kiss me with your greasy mouth I was talkin' to this woman the other day Now here's a woman that was gonna quit her man 'Cause he wasn't makin' enough money on his job Talkin' 'bout how much tax Uncle Sam take out of his money She went on to say something like this She say they take tax and more tax And they keep on takin' that tax Why he take so much money from my man? We ain't got enough to relax Well, let me tell you one thing, baby You let that man stay on that ole measly job And let him keep bringin' home that little $72.50 every week And you keep that man 'Cause Uncle Sam is gonna get his baby Don't you worry about that Men are gettin' scarce, baby They're gettin' scarce as hen's teeth You got some women, their man ain't got no job Men droppin' off like flies
