Judy Garland & Mickey Rooney — Could You Use Me?

[Verse 1: Mickey Rooney] Have some pity on an easterner Show a little sympathy No one possibly could be sterner Than you have been with me There's a job that I'm applying for Let me put it to ya thus It's a partnership I'm dyin' for Mr. and Mrs. Us Before you file it on the shelf Let me tell you of myself [Chorus 1: Mickey Rooney] Oh I'm the chappie, to make ya happy I'll tie your shoes-ies, and chase your blues-ies Oh lady would ya, oh lady Could ya use me? I'd shake the mat out, and put the cat out I'd clean the garret, and feed the parrot Oh lady would ya, oh tell me Could ya use me? [Verse 2: Mickey Rooney] Do ya realize what a good man you're getting in me? I'm no elk or mason or woodman who gets home at three The girls that see me grow soft and dreamy But I'm a gander who won't philander Oh, could ya use me? 'Cause I certainly could use you [Verse 3: Judy Garland] There's a chap I know in Mexico Who's as strong as he can be Eating nails and drinking Texaco He is the type for me There is one in California More romantic far than you When he sings "ha cha cha chornia" I often think he'll do But as for you sir, I'm afraid You will never make the grade [Chorus 2: Judy Garland] For you're no cowboy, you're soft and how boy I feel no muscle that's fit for tussle I must refuse you, I cannot use you 'Scuse me No nightlife for you The birds would bore you The cows won't know you A horse would throw you You silly man you To ask me, can you use me? Ha [Verse 4: Judy Garland] Though at love you may be a wizard, I'm wanting to know Could you warm me up in a blizzard Say, forty below? Your ties are freakish, your knees are weakish You're not a sender, you elbow-bender Though you can use me I most certainly can't use you
