Various Artists - I Hope That Something Better Comes Along lyrics

You can't live with 'em and you can't live without 'em There's somethin' irresistible-ish about 'em We grin and bear it 'cause the nights are long But I hope that somethin' better comes along It's no good complainin', and it's pointless to holler If she's a beauty, then she'll get underneath your collar Yeah, she made a monkey out of old King Kong Man, I hope that somethin' better comes along Ah, but what could be better than a saucy Irish setter When puppy love comes on strong? Or a collie that's cla**y, a laddie needs a la**ie A lover and wife gives you a new leash on life Don't mean to scare ya, my friend, but I betcha Come Father's Day, the litter bug is gonna getcha The urge is righteous, but the face is wrong Well, I hope that somethin' better comes along Still, it's fun when they're fetching And agree to see an etching that you keep at your lily pad Well, there's no solution, it's part of evolution The pitter-patter of soles, the little feet of tadpoles There's no limitation to mixin' and matchin' Some get an itchin' for a critter they've been scratchin' A skunk was badgered, the results were strong And I hope that somethin' better I hope that somethin' better, yeah I hope that somethin' better comes along
