You can have him, I don't want him
He's not worth fighting for
Besides there's plenty more
Where he came from

I don't want him, you can have him
I'm giving him the sack
And he can go right back
Where he came from

I could never make him happy
He'd be better off with you
I'm afraid I never loved him
All I ever wanted to do was
 [bad word] my fingers through his curly locks
Mend his underwear and darn his socks
Fetch his slippers and remove his shoes
Wipe his glasses when he read the news
 [bad word] his forehead with a gentle touch
Mornings after when he's had too much
Kiss him gently when he cuddled near
Give him babies one for every year, so you see

I don't want him, you can have him
You can have him, I don't want him
For he's not the man for me

You can have him, I don't want him
He's not worth fighting for
Besides there's plenty more
Where he came from

I don't want him, you can have him
He isn't my concern
And he can just return
Where he came from

I would look a trifle silly
Taking him away from you
That was never my intention
All I ever wanted to do was

Close the window while he soundly slept
Raid the icebox where the food is kept
Cook a breakfast that would please him most
Eggs and coffee and some buttered toast

Wake him gently with a breakfast tray
After breakfast clear the things away
Bring the papers and when they've been read
Spend the balance of the day in bed, so you see

I don't want him, you can have him
You can have him, I don't want him
For he's not the man for me
