He's a Good Man to Have Around Songtext
von Kay Starr

He′s not good-looking, not handsome or tall
I couldn't tell you how he made me fall
He′s good for nothin', but still and all
He's a good man to have around

You might not like him, he′s nothin′ to show
Not much on manners
And he hasn't got dough
He′s good for nothin', but still I know
He′s a good man to have around


Don't ask if he′s a gentle man
He's the worst to be found
But when it comes to makin' love
He knows his way around

Now after supper, I look and he′s gone
I hear him sneakin′ along about dawn!
I don't say nothin′, 'cause from then on
Hey, he′s a good man to have around

He's not a scholar, he′s not too well read
There are times he don't bother
To bring home the bread

Though he might not be much
He's the bible I read
And he′s a good man
And I′m gonna have him around
