DAVID AND BATHSHEBA

Dick Haymes



David was the King of Israel
David was a mighty man
Till he saw Bathsheba scrubbin' and
There by the scrubbin' tub his troubles began

David, David, saw the gal he crav-ed
And Bathsheba was her name
Women, women, had the kind o' trimmin'
That make all men act the same
The shy or bold, the young and old

David slew the giant Goliath
Though Goliath was twice his size
David had the nerve of ten
Until sweet Bathsheba rolled her beautiful eyes

(David, David, saw the gal he crav-ed)
(And Bathsheba was her name)
Women, women, had the kind o' trimmin'
That make all men act the same
(The short and tall, the big or small)

David thought, "Now, it's ridiculous
Trouble's all she'll ever bring"
But to make Bathsheba his alone
He gave her jewels and gold, his stone and his sling

David (David), David (David), saw the gal he crav-ed (crav-ed)
And Bathsheba was her name
Women (Women), women (women), had the kind o' trimmin' (trimmin')
That make all men act the same
The good (The good) and pure (and the pure)
The rich (The rich) and poor (and poor)

(David was a mighty sorry King)
(???? ?????? ??? ????? ????)
He went back to old Jerusalem
And where Bathsheba went, nobody knows

David, David, saw the gal he crav-ed
And Bathsheba was her name
Women, women, had the kind o' trimmin'
That make all men act the same
The good and the pure (The rich and the poor)
The short and the tall (The big or the small)
The shy or the bold, the young or the older
Women, women, had the kind o' trimmin'
That make all men act the same
(Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh)
Women, women, women, women, Aaaaagggghhhh!
