Jerome Kern
I’ll Be Hard to Handle
I'll be hard to handle
I promise you that
And if you complain, heres one little Jane who'll leave you flat
I'll be hard to handle
What else can I be?
I say with a shrug
I think you're a mug to marry me
When you first threw me a a gander
I was willing to flander
But I never thought I'd have to be a bride
Now youre gonna find tough sledding
I don't want no shotgun wedding
I was only along for the ride
I'll be hard to handle
I'm telling you plain
So, just be a dear and scram out of here
I'm gonna raise Cain
I'll be hard to handle
My bridgеs are burned
This wedding's a gag
And you'rе in the bag
Where I'm concerned
I'll be hard to handle
When we've said "I do"
See, there's no hope
I just got a dope when I took you
I'll be living my life in bed
But they always will be twin beds
And I warn you-
You'll be living like a monk
Our affair is now a past one
So don't think you pulled a fast one
Just remember, I think you're a punk!
I'll be hard to handle
I'm no ball and chain
I'll find some means to call the Marines
I'm gonna raise Cain
I'm gonna raise Cain
I'm gonna raise Cain
