In the summer, you're the winter In the finger, you're the splinter In the banquet, you're the stew Say, I can do without you In the garden, you're the gopher In the Levi's, you're the loafer Like an overturned canoe Well, I can do without you You can go to Philadelphia Take a hack to Hackensack. Hey! I'll never ring a bell fer ya Or yell fer ya to come back In the question, you're the why In the ointment, you're the fly Though I know some things are indispensable Like a buck or two If there's one thing I can do without I can do without you In the barrel, you're a pickle In the gold mine, you're a nickel You're the tack inside my shoe Yeah, I can do without you In my bosom, you're a dagger You're a mangy carpetbagger In the theater, you're the "Boo!" I can do without you Ya got charms that ain't bewitchin' me You've a face no one would paint I got the darnedest itch in me To be wherever ya ain't In the bullfrog, you're the croak In the forest, poison oak Though I know some things are necessary My half-pint buckaroo If there's one thing I can do without I can do without You're a nut You're a faker You're a bonehead You're a trouble-maker I can do without you
