Lyrics
- What good is a gal without a guy?
What good is the earth without the sky?
The flowers would fail to show
Without the sun to make ’em grow
What good is a gal without a guy?
What good is a table set for two
If nobody’s sittin’ there but you?
What good is a moonlit night
If no one’s there to hold you tight?
What good is a gal without a guy?
Who wants to live alone and like it?
You need a man around to build up your morale
To light a match you’ve got to strike it
It’s wrong to be by yourself
Come on, get off of your shelf
What good is a gal like you and me?
We’re just like a hive without a bee
Start wearin’ that baby stare
And wearin’ that perfume in your hair
That “Come and get it” twinkle in your eye
What good is a gal without a guy, a guy, a guy
What good is a gal without a guy? - What good is the mince without the pie?
What good is the “Fourth” without July?
You don’t need a telephone
Without someone to call your own
What good is a gal without a guy?
What good is a face without a smile?
A frown is disturbing after while
If nobody looks your way
Why bother with styles by Main-boucher?
What good is a gal without a guy?
Who wants to be alone and lonesome?
You need someone around who’s gonna be a pal
It’s tough to be all by your own-some
When you’re alive and you’re young
A fling has gotta be flung
What good is a park without a bench?
What good is “l’amour” without the French?
If nobody’s missing you
Or wondering who is kissing you
There’s nothin’ to do but just sit back and sigh
What good is a gal without a guy, a guy, a guy
What good is a gal without a guy?
