Honey honey, hey Baby don't you want a man like me Honey honey, hey Baby don't you want a man like me
He was the Playboy Type (he smoke a pipe) His fav'rite phrase was "OUTA-SITE!" He had an Irish Setter
It was a singles bar, a Tuesday night The moon was dim, the band was tight They did the bump together
What a splendid sight,(Ren-nen-nen-nen) her teeth were white The drinks were cheap (it was Ladies Nite) He was glad that he met her
She was an office girl ("My name is Betty") Her fav'rite group was HELEN REDDY (They discussed the weather)
Honey honey, hey Baby don't you want a man like me Honey honey, hey Baby don't you want a man like me
Honey honey, hey Baby don't you want a Baby don't you want a Baby don't you want a man
She was the lonely sort, just a little too short Her jokes were dumb and her fav'rite sport Was hockey (in the winter)
He was duly impressed and was quick to suggest Any sport with a PUCK had to be 'bout the best As he jabbed his elbow in her ("Get it honey? Get it?")
Later on they went off to where the music was soft, The candles were drippy, they saw a REAL HIPPY Who delivered their dinner
The rice was brown, and soon they found That the crowd around that had jammed the room, Well it seemed to be getting thinner
Honey honey, hey Baby don't you want a man like me Honey honey, hey Baby don't you want a man like me Honey honey, hey Baby don't you want a Baby don't you want a Baby don't you want a man
He took her home to a motor court She wouldn't kiss him, he tried to ignore it, But it made him angry! angry, it made me angry, it made me so angry I could have killed that lousy BITCH!)
He called her a slut, a pig and a whore A bitch and a cunt and she slammed the door In a petulant frenzy! (A petulant frenzy, this is a petulant frenzy. I'm petulant, and I'm having a frenzy)
On the sofa she weeps BOO HOO HOO HOO She weeps and she weeps BOO HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO She weeps and she peeks Through the curtain
He just got in his car But the battery's dead So he asks to use the phone And she gives him some head And that's the end of the story
Honey honey, hey Baby don't you want a man like me Honey honey, hey Baby don't you want a man like me Honey honey, hey Baby don't you want a Baby don't you want a man Baby don't you want a man sometimes?
