I Hope That Somethin' Better Comes Along

You can't live with 'em, you can't live without 'em

There's something irresistible-ish about 'em

We grin and bear it 'cause the nights are long

I hope that something better comes along

It's no good complainin' and pointless to holler

If she's a beauty, she'll get under your collar

She made a monkey out of old King Kong

I hope that something better comes along

Ah, but what could be better than a saucy Irish setter

When puppy love comes on strong?

Or a collie that's classy, a laddie needs a lassie

A lover and wife gives you a new leash on life

I don't mean to scare ya, my friend, but I bet ya

Come Father's Day, the litter bug's gonna get ya

The urge is righteous, but the face is wrong

I hope that something better comes along

Still, it's fun when they're fetching

And agree to see an etching

That you keep at your lily pad

There is no solution, it's part of evolution

The pitter patter of soles

The little feet of tadpoles

There's no limitation to mixin' and matchin'

Some get an itchin' for a critter they've been scratchin'

A skunk was badgered, the results were strong

I hope that something better

I hope that something better

I hope that something better comes along
