MEN ARE GETTIN' SCARCEJoe TexGirls listen, I'm gonna cool you cooks to somethingListen to thisMen are gettin scarce girlsGettin' scarce as hen's teeth, yeahMen are gettin' scarce girlsGettin' scarce as hen's teeth, yeahThere used to be a timeWhen a woman could get a man with just her charmsNow in order for a woman to get a manShe gotta, she gotta take himShe gotta take him, she gotta take himShe gotta take him right out of another woman's armsMen are gettin scarce girlsOh their gettin' scarce girlsGettin' scarce as hen's teeth,(ah ha)And that's mighty scarceListen to thisI was talkin' to this woman the other dayNow she said, she was gonna quit her manCause he's got a raggedy carCan you get to that, look here, huhWomen are funny thoughEvery time her car is runnin' goodThey say chile, that's my car (laughter)soon as it gets to runnin' badShe say ah I don't want that old carThat's his car (laughter)Listen she gonna say to meShe said the other day, she saidIt runs hot, it burns oilThis ole car is beat and rundownThe other day the battery fell deadRight in the heart of town, embarrassin' meLet me twll you one thing babyYou tell that man to get a tune up on that carGet a new set of spark plugs, some brand new tiresAnd a new water pump and you keep that man'Cause let me tell you one thing right nowMen are gettin scarce girlsAh their gettin' scarce girlsThey're gettin' scarce as hen's teeth,(ha ha)And that's mighty scarceHold it band, hold it, hold it a minuteSay Miss Lady, now you just gonna sit there at that tableAnd eat all the barbecue and ain't gonna give me none (mumble)Say what? Oh not you againSay LeRoy, here's this woman with them skinny legs againShe got a greasy mouth this timeCome over here and get this greasy mouth womanShe reminds me of them folks up in Navisoda, TexasEatin' barbecue and drinkin' red soda water on the 19th of June (laughter)Look here, give me a piece of that barbecueAnd kiss me with your greasy mouth (laughter)I was talkin' to this woman the other dayNow here's a woman that was gonna quit her man'Cause he wasn't makin' enough money on his jobTalkin' 'bout how much tax Uncle Sam take out of his moneyShe went on to say something like thisShe say they take tax and more tax and they keep on takin' that taxWhy he take so much money from my manWe ain't got enough to relaxWell let me tell you one thing babyYou let that man stay on that ole measely joband let him keep bringin' home that little $72.50 every weekAnd you keep that man'Cause Uncle Sam is gonna get his babyDon't you worry about thatMen are gettin' scarce babyThey're gettin' scarce as hen's teethYou got some women their man ain't got no jobMen droppin' off like flies
