Anything For You

I've one aim in life
And that is winning you
If you'll be my wife
There's nothing I won't do
To bring you joy, dear
Yes, I'm the boy, dear
Who'd do the darndest all he
Could to be your Walter Raleigh

Just tell me what to do
I'll more than see it through
Dear, I'll do anything for you
I'll buy insurance from your brother
I'll even learn to like your mother
With you I'll always brave
The bargain sales you crave
I'll be your everlasting slave
And if the cook should get too frisky
Although the task is rather risky
You'll find that I, myself
Will tell her she is through
Dear, I'll do anything for you

I'll let you choose my hats
And pick out my cravats
You'll be my connoisseur of spats
I'll even smoke cigars you buy me
And always pay your bills when they eye me
You'll order all you see
You'll charge it C.O.D.
And never hear a word from me
Then what is more, dear, for good measure
All your father's jokes I'll treasure
I'm going to laugh at them
Until I'm black-and-blue
Dear, I'll do anything for you
