Gay Divorce movie - WHERE WOULD YOU GET YOUR COAT lyrics

rate me

<br>

As a buyer for a firm that deals in ladies' fur coats<br>

I get sort of pessimistic now and then<br>

'Cause so many women who invest in our coats<br>

Spend so many evenings out with other men.<br>

I wish they'd simply take a few notes<br>

From the animals who make their coats.<br>

<br>

For if dear little ermines in Siberia<br>

On their dear little husbands didn't dote,<br>

If the dear little 'possum<br>

Didn't let their husbands boss 'em,<br>

Tell me where would you get your coat?<br>

If the dear little caraculs in Syria<br>

All their time to their mates did not devote,<br>

If the dear little sables <br>

Ever told their husbands fables,<br>

Tell me where would you get your coat?<br>

<br>

If you modern wives led more domestic lives<br>

And started singing "Home, Sweet Home"<br>

There'd be no more divorce in Paris and<br>

Of course there'd be no more annulments is Rome.<br>

For if the dear little foxes had hysteria<br>

When their mates fondly grabbed them by the throat,<br>

If the dear little rabbits <br>

Weren't so bourgeois in their habits,<br>

Tell me where would you get your coat?<br>

<br>

If the dear little lamb in Lithuania<br>

Ever had a flirtation with a goat,<br>

If home life didn't thrill a South American chinchilla,<br>

Tell me where would you get your coat?<br>

<br>

If the dear little skunk in Pennsylvania<br>

Over her dear little husband didn't gloat,<br>

If the dear little beaver<br>

Were in birth control a believer,<br>

Tell me where would you get your coat?<br>

<br>

Now if each wife I see<br>

Would only try to be<br>

Content to make her husband's bed,<br>

Cholly Knickerbocker might have nothing more to write<br>

And Town Topics would cease to be read.<br>

For if the dear little mink should get a mania<br>

For som hell-raising gigolo of note,<br>

If the dear little squirrel<br>

Quit her mate<br>

'Cause he was virile,<br>

Tell me where would you get your coat?<br>

<br>
