i'll be hard to handle

Singer:fitzgerald, ella

now we'll say till something do us part

that old dad of mine ain't got a heart

any girl who's out for pleasure

thinks of marriage only at her leisure

as it is

they've got the horse behind the cart

when my pop said we must wed

he kind of wowed me

still i'm read-y

but one thing must be clear

at this time

i'll be hard to handle

i promise you that

and if you complain

here's one little jane

who'll leave you flat

i'll be hard to handle

what else can i be

i say with a shrug

i think you're a mug

to marry me

when you first threw me a gander

i was willing to philander

but i never thought i'd have to be a bride

now you're gonna find tough sledding

i don't want no shotgun wedding

i was only along for the ride

i'll be hard to handle

i'm telling you plain

just be a dear

and scram out of here

i'm gonna raise cain

i'll be hard to handle

my bridges are burned

this wedding's a gag

and you're in the bag

where i'm concerned

i'll be hard to handle

when we've said

i do"
