LINDA:  He was a cutie - I admit I used to care.
               but it's my duty to myself to take the air.
               I won't prevent you from eloping if you wish
               may I present you with this tasty dish

       REFRAIN 1

               Take him, you don't have to pay for him
               Take him, it's free
               Take him, I won't make a play for him
               he's not for me.
               He has no head to think with
               true that hi heart is asleep.
               But he has eyes to wink with.
               You can have him cheap.
               Keep him and just for the lure of it
               marry him too.
               Keep him, for you can be sure of it
               he can't keep you.
               So take my old jalopy
               Keep him from falling apart.
               Take him, but don't ever take him to heart.

       VERSE 2

       VERA:   Thanks little mousey, for the present and all that
               but in this housy, I would rather keep a rat
               Only a wizard could reform that class of males
               thay say a lizard can not change his scales.

       REFRAIN 2

               Take him, I won't put a price on him
               Take him, he's yours
               Take him, pajamas look nice on him.
               But how he snores!
               Thought he is well adjusted
               Certan things make him a wreck.
               Last year his arm was busted
               Reaching from a check.
               His thoughts are seldom consecutive
               he just can't write.
               I know a movie executive
               who's twice as bright,
               Lots of good luck, you'll need it
               and you'll need aspirin, too
               Take him, but don't ever lat him take you.

       REFRAIN 3

       BOTH:   I hope that things will go well with him;
               I bear no hate.
               All i can say is the hell with him
               he gets the gate.
               So take my benedition,
               Take my old benedict, too
               Take him away, it's too good to be true.
