Mary Hatcher, Fred Wayne & Will Irwin -
Texas, Li'l Darlin' / You Can't Run Away From It (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
Affable, Balding Me
Affable Balding Me
Many a John and Mary
'Neath many a leafy bough
Quoted the dictionary
As I to you do now
Consider the thing this way
How wonderful it would be,
If beautiful, ample bosomed you
Loved affable, balding me.
My relatives all would say
"A chip off the old block, he."
If fresh-as-a-daisy, windswept you
Loved socially top-drawer me.
Tradition states, although science disproves
That opposites attract.
We're perfect mates so I think it behooves
Both you and me to act.
Don't think about just us two
But think of our progeny
The children all would have my IQ
And your physiognomy
If hour-glass-figured, long-stemmed you
Loved-popular Back Bay me.
Consider the thing this way
How out of place I would be
If letter man, Yale man, ad man you
Loved Dallas from RFD.
Your dowager aunts would say,
"No stork club balloon girl she!"
If clothes-made-to-order, penthouse you
Loved mail-order, smokehouse me.
As Ma and Pa, just supposed our wild oats
Came not as we rehearsed.
Said playwright Shaw, in some notable quotes,
Supposed it was reversed.
Than what should we ever do
To rescue our progeny,
If all the children had my IQ
And your physiognomy?
If spindle-shanked, chest-less, no-chinned you
Loved ignorant, bird-brained me.
