I’m playin’ the field
Some other guys
Ought to get wise
And do like me.


I’m looking around
Playin’ it cool,
Nobody’s fool
Feet on the ground.


Oh, I’m playin’ the field
Walkin’ on air
I haven’t a care
The live long day


I’m feelin’ no pain
I’m makin’ no slips
Takin’ no trips
Down lovers lane.


Oh, I can throw my clothes around
And come home late at night
And mess the papers up
Nobody cares
Sometimes it gets a little lonesome, true
But that’s alright
I never have to dust those empty chairs


Oh, I’m playin’ the field
Bachelor man
Long as I can
That’s what I’ll be


My, my future is sealed
I’m bidin’ my time
A-sister, and I’m 
Playin’ the field 


(Musical Break)


My, my, my, my, my future is sealed
I’m bidin’ my time
a-sister and I’m
playin’ the field.
I’m playin’ the field.
