Pastel bright in sunlight, cartoon figure, roughly drawn:
My husband, you come bounding with the freshness of the dawn,
Your eyes all full of mischief; and such antics you’ll perform,
To fill my heart with gladness, loving laughter, bright and warm.
| Chorus: |
Oh, no man is my husband. My husband is no man. With Bugs Bunny he is cousin. Yet gladly I would bear his child. Perhaps I’ll have a dozen. |
No man wakes up each morning quite as bushy-tailed as you.
And no man can chug his coffee, the way you like to do,
Then say good-bye so gently, with a kiss that’s candy-sweet,
And allow his lips to linger while his car drives down the street.
(Chorus)
No man gives me the pleasure I have come now to expect
When your nose is all a-quiver, and your ears stand so erect.
When you stroke me with your whiskers, how I tremble at the touch!
And it’s still like that first evening when you took me to your hutch.
(Chorus)
No man proposes marriage in a moonlit cabbage patch,
Nor insists I set his heart aflame and passes me a match.
And no man’s arms can enfold me like your arms, which really fold.
And I love the ring you gave me: twenty carrots, set in gold.
(Chorus)
Pastel bright in sunlight, cartoon figure, roughly drawn:
My husband, you come bounding with the freshness of the dawn.
Soon we’ll start our happy family, out upon the open field.
And I’ll revel in the loving that produces such a yield.
(Chorus)
