WHEREVER  HE   A I N 'T

I gotta give my life some sparkle and fizz,
And think a thought that isn't wrapped up in his.
The place that I consider Paradise is
Wherever He Ain't!    Wherever He Ain't!

No more to wither when he's grouchy and gruff,
No more to listen to him bellow and bluff,
Tomorrow morning I'll be struttin my stuff
Wherever He Ain't!    Wherever He Ain't!

E-nough.___ of being bullied and bossed.
Ta - ta, ____   auf weidersehn and get lost!
I walked behind him like a meek little lamb,
And had my fill of his not giving a damn.
I'll go to Sidney or Ceylon or Siam;
Wherever He    Ain't!  Wherever He    Ain't!

I gotta give my life some sparkle and fizz,
And think a thought that isn't wrapped up in his.
The place that I consider Paradise is
Wherever He Ain't!    Wherever He Ain't!

I'd gladly travel where the hurricanes blow;
I'd face the jungle and I'd stomp thru the snow,
As long as I can pack my baggage and go
Wherever He Ain't!    Wherever He Ain't!

It's time.____ for little Nell to rebel.
If he's in heaven, I'll go to hell!
My little love nest was a terrible trap,
With me behaving like a simpering sap.

And so I'm looking for a spot on the map;
If he's goin' south; I'm goin' north.
If he's goin' back; I'm goin' forth;
Wherever He Ain't!
