Lyrics:
Partner, I think ya better git
The word is “get”, my angel
And don’t forget, my angel
Nevertheless ya better git
The word you mean to say
Is G-E-T which in no way is
GIT! GET! GIT! GET!
You wanna bet? I’ve had enough of this
Mister, a gentleman ya ain’t
But “ain’t” is so contrary to any dictionary
My type of guy is what ya ain’t
The world you keep caressing is a vulgar word expressing aren’t
AIN’T! AREN’T! AIN’T! AREN’T! AIN’T!
What self-restraint! I’ve had enough of this
I tried to make you chic, the woman of the week
I guess ya think you’re purdy big
Ya only aim to do whatever’s good for you
I’m just a selfish Pygmalion
I ain’t no gilded lily
I think you’re being silly
I can’t be high falootin’
I thought you’d be so cute in
Some delightful rendezvous
Delightful? I’m gonna quit, this here is it!
‘Cause I’ve had just about enough of you!
Partner, I’m fixin’ to vamoose
American translation: you want a long vacation
You tell the jokes while I vamoose
If you’d improve your grammar
You could have a lot of glamour
Out West a lot of folk
Don’t think that I’m a joke
I’ve had enough of this
Maybe you’re just a bit harassed
You mean my jeans are saggin’?
You mean my saddle’s draggin’?
I mean we’ve gone a bit too fast
The thing I know for certain
You are mighty good at hurtin’
I thought we’d get along
I reckon you we’re wrong
I’ve had enough of this
You’d have me sayin’ “can’t” and bein’ elegant
And all them other fancy touches
I really think you need a gentleman of breed
I need you just as much as crutches
Out West we’d stop your fussin’
Out West we aren’t discussing
Some men are really fittin’
Some girls are like a kitten
You’re more like a kangaroo
That does it! I’ve had enough, I’m through with it
Here’s your hat and you know what to do with it
Well now I’ve had enough, I’ll change my course
I guess the only place for you is on a horse
I’ve had enough, more than enough
I’ve had just about enough of you
