You Can't Get A Man With A Gun - Studio Cast Recording of Annie Get Your Gun
Written by：Irving Berl
Oh my mother was frightened by a shotgun they say
That's why I'm such a wonderful shot
I'd be out in the cactus and I'd practice all day
And now tell me what have I got
I'm quick on the trigger
With targets not much bigger than a pinpoint
I'm number one
But my score with a feller
Is lower than a cellar
Oh you can't get a man with a gun
When I'm with a pistol
I sparkle like a crystal
Yes I shine like the morning sun
But I lose all my luster when with a crumple buster
Oh you can't get a man with a gun
With a gun with a gun
No you can't get a man with a gun
If I went to battle with someone's herd of cattle
You'd have steak when the job was done
But if I shot the herder
They'd holler bloody murder
And you can't shoot a male in the tail like a quail
Oh you can't get a man with a gun
I'm cool brave and daring
To see a lion glaring
When I'm out with my remington
But a look from a mister
Will raise a fever blister
Oh you can't get a man with a gun
The gals with umbrellars
Are always out with fellers
In the rain or the blazing sun
But a man never trifles
With gals who carry rifles
Oh you can't get a man with a gun
With a gun with a gun
No you can't get a man with a gun
A man's love is mighty
He'll even buy a nightie
For a gal who he thinks is fun
But they don't buy pajamas
For pistol packin' mamas
And you can't get a hook
From mama with the slow
Oh you can't get a man with a gun
