You can't live with 'em, you can't live without 'em.
There's somethin' irresistable-ish about 'em.
We grin and bear it 'cause the nights are long.
I hope that somethin' better comes along.
It's no good complainin' and pointless to holler.
If she's a beauty she'll get underneath your collar.
She made a monkey out of old King Kong,
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 classy, a laddie needs a lassie,
A lover and wife gives you a new leash on life.
I 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.
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.
There is 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.
I hope that somethin' better,
I hope that somethin' better,
I hope that somethin' better comes along.
