Trouble With Girls

(Ted Harris)



Life ain't fun until you get you one

Don't know what it is about 'em

But you can't dismiss or mark 'em off your list

'Cause you can't exist without 'em.



But this necessary evil ain't the cotton boll weevil

Or a bottle full of homemade sin

It's a two legged creature that's scared of a preacher

All the trouble with girls is men.



Yeah, the trouble with girls is men

And I'll believe it till the day I die

You can't live with 'em and you can't live without 'em

But I sure would like to try.



Old Scratchy Face leads a Mary Chase

Smelling like a jug of Mennin'

But it ain't no life tryin' to be his wife

When Baltimore ain't winnin'.



Well, I'd rather have a battle with a wild herd of cattle

than to git him up at six a.m.

Get two good showers and he'll mow down your flowers

All the trouble with girls is men.

And I'll believe it till the day I die

You can't live with 'em and you can't live without 'em

But I sure would like to try.



Yeah, the trouble with girl is men.

I know the trouble with girls is men.

I say the trouble with girls is men...
