lyrics

You hold the title of My Biggest Fan
What a lucky guy
You get to buy me a two door sedan
What a lucky guy
I'm ogled by sophisticates
But you're the only one who gets
The Benefits of Being My Man

What a lucky guy
You get to be my beau with the plan (The pension plan, of course...)
What a lucky guy
You get to be my suave Dapper Dan (But not too suave. It's my spotlight, doll.)
Your rivals never call it quits
They drivel o'er like nitwits for
The Benefits of Being My Man

What a lucky guy
You get to have a room of your own
Where you can polish my throne
What a lucky guy
You get to eat my lemon meringue
And feed my pet orangutang
I've never met a man so truly blessed

You get to be my flash in the pan
What a lucky guy
I am the Champion and you're my Also-Ran
What a lucky guy
Like for like and tats for tits
Every other girl's the pits
Life is just a bowl of grits
But I give you banana splits
Even at their end of wits'
No one in the world forgets
The Benefits of Being My Man
...You're welcome.
