Song lyrics to That’s the Man for Me, sung by The Taylor Maids on The Red Skelton Show episode, Smokeless Sunday
That’s the man for me
I’d like to find a guy
With love light in his eye
And lots of personaality.
A guy who’s fancy free
With good security
That’s the man for me.
A man and not a mouse
Who’s handy ’round the house
Who’s lovin’ keeps me up a tree
A guy who’s not too rough
Who really knows his stuff
That’s the man for me.
Now he don’t have to be tall and handsome
That don’t matter at all
As long as he’s ready, willing and able
To answer when we call!
If someone knows a man
Who’d fit into our plan
A real doll, easy lovin’ man,
A guy who’s in the know
Wants me and not my dough,
That’s the man for me!
[Instrumental]
That’s the man for me
Now he don’t have to be such a cutie
That don’t matter at all
As long as he’s ready, willin’ and able
To answer when we call!
If someone knows a man
Who’d fit into our plan
A real doll, easy lovin’ man,
And now we understand
What it takes to keep a man …
That’s the man for,
That’s the man for,
That’s the man for me!
