Betty Hutton — You Cant Get a Man with a Gun

[ANNIE] 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 But 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 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 lock me up for murder 'Cause you can't 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 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 gun, with a gun 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 'Cause a man may be hot But he's not when he's shot Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
