G C
All my friends are married

Every Tom and Dick and Harry

You must be strong for it
Em Am D7
To go it alone
G C
Here's to the bachelors and the bowery bums
G C
And those who feel that they're the ones
G Em D7 G C G
Who are better off without a wife
[CHORUS]
C D7
I like sleepin until the crack of noon
G Em
Midnight howlin' at the moon (and I been)
Am D7 G Em
Goin' out when I wanto, (and I been) comin' home when I please
C D7
I don't have to ask permission
G Em
If I go out fishing
Am D
And I never have to ask for the key
[VERSE 2]

Never been no Valentino

Had a girl who lived in Reno

Left me for a trumpet player
Am D7
Didn't get me down

He was wanted for assault
G C
Though he said it weren't his fault
G Em D7 G C G
Well the coppers rode him right out of town
[CHORUS]
C D7
I like sleepin until the crack of noon
G Em
Midnight howlin' at the moon (and I been)
Am D7 G Em
Goin' out when I wanto, (and I been) comin' home when I please

You see I'm kinda selfish about my privacy (SPOKEN)
G C
As long as I can be with me

We get along so well I can't even believe it

I love to chew the fat with folks
G C
And listen to all your dirty jokes
G Em C
I'm so thankful for these friends
Am G C G
I do receive
[CHORUS]
C D7
I like sleepin until the crack of noon
G Em
Midnight howlin' at the moon (and I been)
Am D7 G Em
Goin' out when I wanto, (and I been) comin' home when I please
