Pal Joey movie - Take Him lyrics

<br>

VERSE 1<br>

<br>

LINDA:<br>

He was a cutie - I admit I used to care.<br>

but it's my duty to myself to take the air.<br>

I won't prevent you from eloping if you wish<br>

may I present you with this tasty dish<br>

<br>

REFRAIN 1<br>

<br>

Take him, you don't have to pay for him<br>

Take him, it's free<br>

Take him, I won't make a play for him<br>

he's not for me.<br>

He has no head to think with<br>

true that hi heart is asleep.<br>

But he has eyes to wink with.<br>

You can have him cheap.<br>

Keep him and just for the lure of it<br>

marry him too.<br>

Keep him, for you can be sure of it<br>

he can't keep you.<br>

So take my old jalopy<br>

Keep him from falling apart.<br>

Take him, but don't ever take him to heart.<br>

<br>

VERSE 2<br>

<br>

VERA:<br>

Thanks little mousey, for the present and all that<br>

but in this housy, I would rather keep a rat<br>

Only a wizard could reform that class of males<br>

thay say a lizard can not change his scales.<br>

<br>

REFRAIN 2<br>

<br>

Take him, I won't put a price on him<br>

Take him, he's yours<br>

Take him, pajamas look nice on him.<br>

But how he snores!<br>

Thought he is well adjusted<br>

Certan things make him a wreck.<br>

Last year his arm was busted<br>

Reaching from a check.<br>

His thoughts are seldom consecutive<br>

he just can't write.<br>

I know a movie executive <br>

who's twice as bright,<br>

Lots of good luck, you'll need it<br>

and you'll need aspirin, too<br>

Take him, but don't ever lat him take you.<br>

<br>

REFRAIN 3<br>

<br>

BOTH:<br>

I hope that things will go well with him;<br>

I bear no hate.<br>

All i can say is the hell with him<br>

he gets the gate.<br>

So take my benedition,<br>

Take my old benedict, too<br>

Take him away, it's too good to be true.<br>

<br>
