Lyrics
Hinesy, Hinesy.
I've learned my lesson. I'll never be jealous again.
You stick to that now.
Absolutely.
That's easier said than done
I can do it
I knew it
But let's take an example, just for fun
Picture this
You're waiting three hours for her to come home from a date
There I am
I'm waiting three hours for her to come home from a date
Here she comes
Her lipstick is smeared and she can't seem to walk very straight
Here she comes
Her lipstick is smeared and she can't seem to walk very straight
Then she drops
A bottle of rye and not batting an eye
Says a train wreck made her late
(spoken)
Well, Hinesy, what would you do then?
Mm, I would trust her
I would trust her
By George, I swear I would trust her
No, I'll never be jealous again
Nice work, Hinesy.
Oh, I know what I'm doing, Mabel. I know what I'm doing.
Now let's take another example.
Sure, Mabel.
Picture this
You've nothing to do so you drop in to chat for awhile
There I am
With nothing to do so I drop in to chat for awhile
Something's up
The window is open and Gladys is forcing a smile
Something's up
The window is open and Gladys is forcing a smile
There you see
A hat and a tie and pair of socks in a nice neat little pile
(spoken)
Well, Hinesy?
Mm, I would trust her
I would trust her
By George, I swear I would trust her
No, I'll never be jealous
I'll never never never never
Never never never never
Never be jealous again
That's the stuff, Hinesy. You're practically cured!
There will be no more nightmares to sleep through
No more keyholes to peep through
No more bushes to creep through
That's my plan
Well, now that you're a new man
Picture this
You go to your sweetie's apartment, you borrow the keys
There I am
I go to my sweetie's apartment, I borrow the keys
There she is
She's giving a sailor a very affectionate squeeze
There she is
She's giving a sailor a very affectionate squeeze
Then, to boot
She tells you she was in the arms of a cousin
Who's back from overseas
A cousin back from overseas? Do you expect me to bel—
Hinesy...
I would trust her
I would trust her
By George, I swear I would trust her
No, I'll never be jealous
I'll never never never never
Never never never never
Never never never never
Never never never
Never be jealous again
Good!
