You can t get a man with a gun lyrics

Oh my Mother was frightened by a shotgun, they say,
That's why I'm such a wonderful shot.
I'd be out in the cactus and I practice all day,
And now tell me what have I got.
I'm quick on the trigger with targets not much bigger
Than a pin point, I'm number one.
But my score with a feller is lower than a cellar-
Oh you can't get a man with a gun.
When I'm with a pistol
I sparkle like a crystal,
Yes, I shine like the morning sun.
But I lose all my luster
When with a Bronco Buster.
Oh you can't get a man with a gun.
With a gun, with a gun,
No, you can't get a man with a gun.
If I went to battle
With someone's herd of cattle
You'd have steak when the job was done.
But if shot the herder,
They'd holler "bloody murder"
And you can't shoot a male
In the tail like a quail
Oh you can't get a man with a gun.
I'm cool, brave and daring
To see a lion glaring
When I'm out with my Remington
But a look from a mister
Will raise a fever blister
Oh you can't get a man with a gun.
The gals with "umbrellars"
Are always out with fellers
In the rain or the blazing sun
But a man never trifles
With gals who carry rifles
Oh you can't get a man with a gun.
With a gun, with a gun,
No, you can't get a man with a gun.
A man's love is mighty
He'll even buy a nightie
For a gal who he thinks is fun.
But they don't buy pajamas
For Pistol packin' mamas,
And you can't get a hug
From a mug with a slug,
Oh you can't get a man with a gun.

Lyrics for You Can't Get a Man with a Gun by Bernadette Peters

Oh my Mother was frightened by a shotgun, they say, That′s why I'm such a wonderful shot. I′d be am out in the cactus and I practice all day, And now tell me what have I got. I'm quick on the trigger with targets not much bigger Than a pen point, I'm number one. But my score with a feller is lower than a cellar- Oh you can′t get a man with a gun. When I′m with a pistol I sparkle like a crystal, Yes, I shine like the morning sun. But I lose all my l___er When with a Bronco Buster. Oh you can't get a man with a gun. With a gun, with a gun, No, you can′t get a man with a gun. If I went to battle With someone's herd of cattle You′d have steak when the job was done. But if shot the herder, They'd holler "b_____ murder" And you can′t shoot a male In the tail like a quail Oh you can't get a man with a gun. I'm cool, brave and daring To see a lion glaring When I′m out with my Remington But a look from a mister Will raise a fever blister Oh you can′t get a man with a gun. The gals with "umbrellars" Are always out with fellers In the rain or the blazing sun But a man never trifles With gals who carry rifles Oh you can't get a man with a gun. With a gun, with a gun, No, you can′t get a man with a gun. A man's love is mighty It′ll leave him buy a nightie For a gal who he thinks is fun. But they don't by pajamas For Pistol packin′ mamas, And you can't get a hug From a mug with a slug, Oh you can't get a man with a gun.

Ethel Merman You Can't Get a Man With a Gun
oh my mother was shot by a shotgun they say that's why i'm such a wonderful shot.
I'd be out in the cactus and i'd practice all day.
And now tell me what have I got?
I'm quick on the trigger, with targets not much bigger than a pinpoint, i'm number one.
But my score with a feller, is lower than a celler.
Oh you can't get a man with a gun.
When i'm with a pistol I sparkle like a crystal, yes I shine like the mornin' sun.
But I lose all my luster, when with a bronco buster.
Oh you can't get a man with a gun.
With a gun.
With a gun.
no you can't get a man with a gun.
If I went to battle, with someone's herd of cattle, you'd have steak when the job was done.
But if I shot the herder, they'd holler bloody murder.
And you can'y shoot a male in the tail like a quail.
Oh you can't get a man with a gun.

If I shot a rabbit, some furrier would grab it
For a coat that would warm someone
But you can't shoot a lover and use him for a cover Oh, you can't get a man with a gun.
The gals with umbrellers are always out with fellers
In the rain or the blazing sun
But a man never trifles with gals who carry rifles
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun.
With a gu-un, with a gu-un
No, you can't get a man with a gun.
A Tom, Dick or Harry will build a house for Carrie
When the preacher has made them one
But he can't build you houses with buckshot in his trousers
For a man may be hot but he's not when he's shot
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun.

Doris Day Lyrics

"You Can't Get A Man With A Gun"
(from "Annie Get Your Gun" soundtrack)

Oh, my mother was frightened by a shotgun, they say
That's why I'm such a wonderful shot.
I'd be out in the cactus and I'd practice all day,
And now tell me what have I got?

I'm quick on the trigger with targets not much bigger than a pinpoint
I'm number one, but my score with a feller
Is lower than a cellar, oh you can't get a man with a gun.
When I'm with a pistol, I sparkle like a crystal

Yes, I shine like the morning sun,
But I lose all my luster, when with a bronco buster,
Oh you can't get a man with a gun.
With a gu-un, with a gu-un, oh you can't get a man with a gun

If I went to battle with someone's herd of cattle
You'd have steak when the job was done.
But, if I shot the herder, they'd holler bloody murder
And you can't shoot a male in the tail like a quail,

Oh you can't get a man with a gun.
I'm cool, brave, and daring to see a lion glaring
When I'm out with my Remington.
But a look from a mister will raise a fever blister

Oh you can't get a man with a gun
The gals with umbrellas are always out with fellers
In the rain or the blazin sun
But a man never trifles with gals who carry rifles

Oh you can't get a man with a gun.
With a gu-un, with a gu-un, oh you can't get a man with a gun.
A man's love is mighty, he'll even buy a nightie
For a gal who he thinks is fun.

But they don't buy pajamas for pistol packin mamas
And you can't get a hug from a mug, with a slug
Oh you can't get a man with a gun.
