Greatest Musicals Double Feature - Girl Crazy & the Flower Drum Song (Original Film Soundtracks)
Could You Use Me (From "Girl Crazy")
(Mickey) Have some pity on an Easterner
No one possibly could be sterner
Than you have been with me
There's a job that I'm applyin' for
Let me put it to you thus:
It's a partnership I'm dyin' for
Mr. and Mrs. Us
Now before you file it on the shelf,
Let me tell you of myself...
Oh, I'm the chappy to make you happy
I'll tie your shoesies and chase your bluesies
Oh, lady would you
Could you use me?
Now I'd shake the mat out
And put the cat out
I'd clean the garret
And feed the parrot
Oh, lady would you
Could you use me?
Do you 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 who see me
Grow soft and dreamy
Who won't philander
Oh, could you use me?
Cause I certainly could use you
(Judy) 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
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
No night life 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?
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 could use me
I most certainly can't use you!
No one possibly could be sterner
Than you have been with me
There's a job that I'm applyin' for
Let me put it to you thus:
It's a partnership I'm dyin' for
Mr. and Mrs. Us
Now before you file it on the shelf,
Let me tell you of myself...
Oh, I'm the chappy to make you happy
I'll tie your shoesies and chase your bluesies
Oh, lady would you
Could you use me?
Now I'd shake the mat out
And put the cat out
I'd clean the garret
And feed the parrot
Oh, lady would you
Could you use me?
Do you realize what a good man
