Doris Day - You Can't Get A Man With A Gun lyrics

Oh, my mother was frightened by a shotgun, they say That's why I'm such a wonderful shot. I'd be out in the cactus and I'd practice all day, And now tell me what have I got? I'm quick on the trigger with targets not much bigger than a pinpoint I'm number one, but my score with a feller Is lower than a cellar, oh you can't get a man with a gun. When I'm with a pistol, I sparkle like a crystal Yes, I shine like the morning sun, But I lose all my luster, when with a bronco buster, Oh you can't get a man with a gun. With a gu-un, with a gu-un, oh you can't get a man with a gun If I went to battle with someone's herd of cattle You'd have steak when the job was done. But, if I shot the herder, they'd holler bloody murder And you can't shoot a male in the tail like a quail, Oh you can't get a man with a gun. I'm cool, brave, and daring to see a lion glaring When I'm out with my Remington. But a look from a mister will raise a fever blister Oh you can't get a man with a gun The gals with umbrellas are always out with fellers In the rain or the blazin sun But a man never trifles with gals who carry rifles Oh you can't get a man with a gun. With a gu-un, with a gu-un, oh you can't get a man with a gun. A man's love is mighty, he'll even buy a nightie For a gal who he thinks is fun. But they don't buy pajamas for pistol packin mamas And you can't get a hug from a mug, with a slug Oh you can't get a man with a gun.
