“It’s him or me.”
That’s what he (G7)said,
but I can’t choose
be tween a (C9)ve gan and a (F)pot head.
So I chose you,
be cause you’re sweet
and you give me lots of lov (C7)in’,
and you (F)eat meat.
And (C)that’s how you be came
my on ly (G)man of the (C)hour.
You nev er (C)lie,
and you don’t cheat,
and you (C)don’t have an y bag gage tied to your (F)four feet.
Do I de (C)serve
to be the one
who will (C)feed you break fast, (C7)lunch and din ner, and take you to the (Fm)park at dawn?
(C)Will you real ly be
my on ly (G)man of the (C)hour.
I know you’ll nev er bring me (C)flow ers;

And though we’ll (Fm)nev er take a (C)show (Bb7)er to geth (A7)er,
I (D7)know
you’ll nev er make me (G7)cry.
You nev er

you don’t e ven (G)talk.
And I (C)like the way you let (C7)me lead you
(F)when we go out (F#dim7)side and walk.
(C)Will you real ly be
my on ly (G7)man
of the (C9)hour,
my on ly man
of the (C7)hour,
my on ly (G)man of the hour?
(Woof!)
