    ABOUT This Song:
    "You Can Have Him" is a popular song written by Irving Berlin for the 1949 musical Miss Liberty, where it was introduced by Allyn McLerie and Mary McCarty. It is not to be confused with Roy Hamilton's 1961 hit "You Can Have Her", which has later been recorded by female singers using the title "You Can Have Him".
    LYRICS:
    You can have him, I don't want him
    He's not worth fighting for
    Besides there's plenty more where he came from
    I don't want him, you can have him
    I'm givin' him the sack
    So he can go right back, where he came from
    I'm afraid I never loved him
    He'd be better off with you
    I could never make him happy
    All I ever wanted to do was
    Run my fingers through his curly locks
    Mend his clothing, darn his socks
    Fetch his slippers and remove his shoes
    Wipe his glasses when he read the news
    Rub his forehead with a gentle touch
    Mornings after when he had a little to much
    Kiss him gently when he cuddled near
    And give him babies one for every year
    So you see
    That you can have him, I don't want him
    I don't want him, you can have him
    Because he's not the man for me
    Then I close the windows while he soundly slept
    Then I brayed the icebox where the food is kept
    I'd fix him breakfast that would please him most
    Eggs and coffee and some buttered toast
    Then I go out and buy the papers
    And when they've been read
    Spend the balance of the day in bed
    So you see
    That you can have him, I don't want him
    I don't want him, you can have him
    Because he's not my man
    I don't want him, you can have him
    You can have him, I don't want him
    I don't want him, you can have him
    Because he's not the man for me
