[DORIS:] In the Summer you're the Winter In the finger you're the splinter In the banquet you're the stew Say, I could do without you [HOWARD:] In the garden you're the gopher In the Levi's you're the loafer Like an overturned canoe Well, I could do without you [DORIS:] You can go to Philadelphia Take a hack to Hackensack Hey, I'll never ring a bell fer yer Or yell fer yer to come back [HOWARD:] In the question you're the why In the ointment you're the fly DORIS: Though I know some things are indefensible Like a buck or two If there's one thing I can do without I can do without you [HOWARD:] In the barrel you're a pickle In the goldmine you're a nickel You're the tack inside my shoe
Yes, I can do without you [DORIS:] In my bosom you're a dagger You're a mangy carpetbagger In the theatre you're the 'boo' I can do without you [HOWARD:] You got charms, they ain't bewitchin' me You've a face no one would paint DORIS: I got the darndest itch in me To be wherever you ain't [HOWARD:] In the bullfrog you're the croak [DORIS:] In the forest, poison oak [HOWARD:] Though I know somethings are necessary My half-pint buckaroo If there's one thing I can do without I can do without..... [DORIS:] You're a knothead! [HOWARD:] You're a faker! [DORIS:] You're a bonehead! [HOWARD:] Troublemaker! [BOTH:] I can do without you!
