Intro:
   Eb Bb
   Eb
   Db
   G7

Joy:
C                         Fm            Dm
Why would a fellow want a girl like her,
  C                G9  G7
a frail and fluffy beauty?
C                       F           Dm
Why can’t a fellow ever once prefer
  C     G7        C
a solid girl like me?

Portia:
C                     Dm7 G7 Dm
She’s a frothy little bubble
       G7             C(add9) C
With a flimsy kind of charm,
        Cmaj7 C9     Am7  D9  B7
And with very little trouble
                         Em
I could break her little arm!

Joy:
    C                         F              Dm
Oh, why would a fellow want a girl like her,
   C           G9 G7
So obviously unusual?
C                       F           Dm
Why can’t a fellow ever once prefer
  C     G7        C
a usual girl like me?

Portia:
    F                            C
Her cheeks are a pretty shade of pink,
    F                    Cdim7 C
But not any pinker than a rose is.

Joy:
    F                        C
Her skin may be delicate and soft,
    Am      D9            G7
But not any softer than a doe’s is.

Portia:
C7  F                        C
Her neck is no whiter than a swan’s.

Joy:
      F                  Cdim7 C
She’s only as dainty as a daisy.

Portia:
      F                     C
She’s only as graceful as a bird.

Both:
   Am         D9           G7
So why is the fellow going crazy?

Chorus:
    C                         F              Dm
Oh, why would a fellow want a girl like her,
  C                 G9  G7
a girl who’s merely lovely?
C                       F           Dm
Why can’t a fellow ever once prefer
  C           E7    Am
a girl who’s merely me?

Joy:
C                     Dm7 G7 Dm
She’s a frothy little bubble
       G7             C(add9) C
With a frilly sort of air,
        Cmaj7 C9     Am7  D9  B7
And with very little trouble
                         Em
I could pull out all her hair!

Chorus:
    C                         F              Dm
Oh, why would a fellow want a girl like her,
  C                 G9  G7
a girl who’s merely lovely?
C                       F           Dm
Why can’t a fellow ever once prefer
  C           E7    Am
a girl who’s merely me?

Outro:
                           Dm
What’s the matter with the man?
                           G7
What’s the matter with the man?
                           C
What’s the matter with the man?
