i'm just an ordinary man;
who desires nothing more
than just the ordinary chance
to live exactly as he likes
and precisely what he wants.
an average man am i
of no eccentric whim,
who likes to live his life
free of strife,
doing whatever he thinks is best for him.
just an ordinary man.

but let a woman in your life
and your serenity is through!
she'll decorate your home
from the cellar to the dome;
then go on to the enthralling
fun of overhaulling
you.

oh, let a woman in your life
and you are up against the wall!
make a plan and you will find
she has something else in mind;
and so rather than do either
you do something else that neither
likes at all.

you want to talk of Keats and Milton;
she only wants to talk of love.
you go to see a play or ballet,
and spend in searching for glove.

oh, let a woman in your life
and you invite eternal strife!
let them buy their wedding bands
for those anxious little hands;
i'd be equally as willing
for a dentist to be drilling
than to ever let a woman in my life!
