Thirteen Women (And Only One Man In Town)

(album: Rock Around The Clock - 1955)

Last night I was dreaming
Dreamed about the H-bomb
Well, the bomb-a went off and I was caught
I was the only man on the ground

There was-a thirteen women and only one man in town
Thirteen women and only one man in town
And as funny as it may be
The one and only man in town was me
With thirteen women and me the only man around

I had two gals every morning
Seeing that I was well fed
And believe-a you me
One sweetened my tea
While another one buttered my bread

Two gals gave me my money
Two gals made me my clothes
And another sweet thing bought me a diamond ring
About forty carats I suppose

Well, thirteen women and only one man in town
There was-a thirteen women and only one man in town
It was something I can't forget
Because I think of those thirteen women yet
Well-a, thirteen women and only one man around

I had three gals dancing the mambo
Three galls balling the jack
And all of the rest really did their best
Boy, they sure were a lively pack

I thought I was in heaven
And all of these angels were mine
But I woke up and I ended the dream
'Cause I had to get to work on time

Well-a, thirteen women and only one man in town
There was-a thirteen women and only one man in town
No, I can't tell where I've been
'Cause I kinda think that someday I'll go back again
To those thirteen women and me the only man around

Well-a, thirteen women and me the only man around
Well-a, thirteen women and me the only man around
