The Best Man
Composer(s): Roy Alfred - Fred Wise
Performer(s): Nat King Cole



I guess I've got a heart meant for fooling around with chicks
'Cause in that love department, I know all the ladies' tricks
Now I ran across a girl one day, she was as sharp as a girl could be
And I wasn't surprised to hear her say that she really went for me

She said I was the best man who ever knocked on her door
She said I was the best man, the fella she'd waited for
She said I was the best man at dancing, and nobody can deny
That when it came to romancin' I was the A-plus number one guy

But then she met my best friend and knocked him right off his pins
But still I wasn't worrried, 'cause the best man always wins
The way it all turned out, there was no doubt
That I was best man in the end
Yes, I was the best man when she married my best friend

She said I was the best man who ever knocked on her door
She said I was the best man, the fella she'd waited for
She said I was the best man at dancing, and nobody can deny
That when it came to romancin' I was the A-plus number one guy

So don't you think you're best til you pass the test
And you know all the ladies' tricks
'Cause you'll wind up as the best man 
While the other guy gets the chicks
