All Er Nothin' (from "Oklahoma!") Lyrics
All Er Nothin' - Oklahoma Orchestra/Jay Blackman
You'll have to be a little more stand offish
When fellers offer you a buggy ride
I'll give an imitation of a crawfish
And dig myself a hole where I can hide
I heard how you was kickin' up some capers
When I was off in kansas city mo
I heard some things you couldn't print in papers
From fellers who been talkin' like they know
Foot
I only did the kinds of things I oughta sorta
To you I was as faithful as can be for me
Them stories 'bout the way I lost my bloomers rumors
A lot of tempest in a pot of tea
The whole thing don't sound very good to me
Well you see
I go and sow my last wild oat I cut out all shennanigans
I save my money don't gamble or drink in the back room down at flannigans
I give up lots of other things a gentleman never mentions
Before I give up any more I wanna know your intentions
With me it's all er nothin'
Is it all er nothin' with you
It can't be in between
It can't be now and then
No half and half romance will do
I'm a one woman man home lovin' type
All complete with slippers n' pipe
Take me like I am or leave me be
If you can't give me all give me nothin'
And nothin's what you'll get from me
Not even somethin'
Nothin's what you'll get from me
It can't be in between
It can't be now and then
No half and half romance will do
Would you build me a house all painted white
Cute and clean and purty and bright
Big enough for two but not for three
Supposin' that we should have a third one
He'd better look a lot like me
The spittin' image
He'd better look a lot like me
