A Guide For The Married Man

John Williams


What we need in the world today 
Is a guide for the married man 
Some simple thing that in every way 
Would provide for the harried man 
Help him not to worry 
Assist him to relax 
Help him slow his heart rate 
And spare him cardiacs 

Such a guide would in many ways 
Turn the tide for the married man 
Enable husbands to fill their days 
As only the married can 
Every man would praise it 
It's such a splendid plan 
Someday soon we shall point with pride 
To the guide for the married man 

By the side of the married man 
'Tis the lady who shares his life 
You help the bride of the married man 
By removing the husband's strife 
Every wife who's truthful 
Who treasures married bliss 
Must keep her husband youthful 
What better way than this? 

Each and every device we know 
Should be tried for the married man 
But who can question the debt he'll owe 
To the guide for the married man 
List things universal 
From Pittsburgh to Japan 
And Every man can be satisfied 
By the guide for the married man
