I've got a man, his name is Pe-ete

He's awfully good and oh so sweet

He's not the kind that you usually meet

He loves me so-o and I love Pete



A gal that I know loves a boy named Ji-im

Though he treats her mean she still loves him

And Sally loves Joe who's the kind that'll cheat

Some men are like that but not my Pete



He never beats me

Never mistreats me

He never teases

He only pleases



I take my troubles with a grain of salt

'Cause I've got a man without a fault



I put him on trial, he passed every te-est

Whatever he does, he does his best

I've got no complaints and my life is complete

'Cause I've got a man whose name is Pete



He never beats me

Never mistreats me

He never teases

He only pleases



I take my troubles with a grain of salt

'Cause I've got a man without a fault



I put him on trial, he passed every te-est

Whatever he does, he does his best

I've got no complaints and my life is complete

'Cause I've got a ma-an, what a ma-an

His name is Pete...
