Rogers and Hammerstein claim
There is nothing like a dame
Their opinion is so divine
But this one is strictly mine
We've got oleo to take the place of butter
Saccharin to take the place of sugar
Vitamins to take the place of bran
But nothing in this world can replace a man
We've got zircon rings to take the place of diamonds
Plastic beads to make a pearly necklace
Bracket squad to sub for Charlie Chan
But nothing in this world can replace a man
Girls,
let's all think twice The next time that we seek to doubt him
Girls,
take my advice We're up that well-known creek without him
Dacron cloth to take the place of wool
And samsonite to take the place of leather
Light bulbs that replace a summer tan
But all throughout the world of science
No one's found a new appliance That ever can replace a man
Girls,
I realize that most men are as sharp as
arrows But without those guys we're strictly
for the worms and sparrows Filtered air replacing ventilation
TV sets replacing conversation Mambo has replaced the old can-can
But here's a tip and you can bank it There is
no electric blanket that ever can replace a man
