Ana Gasteyer - Shopping Around

If you wanna know why I've a roving eye
For every cute guy passing there,
I just wanna try before I buy
The bargains in Husbands ready-to-wear.
'Cause a man isn't like an expensive sweater
Or department-store dress on the rack.
If you wrap him up and take him home, and then see something better,
Nobody, but nobody, will take him back.

So
I'm shopping around,
Just looking,
Where men are concerned,
I'm just shopping around.
A girl must compare
Men for wear and for tear
Before she buys.
If she wants the best,
Then she just has to test
All kinds of merchandise.

So while I'm still young,
I'm testing,
Don't wanna be stung,
No, sir, not little me.
The husband to be
Carries no guarantee
So if you want the best to be found,
You gotta keep shopping,
Leisurely shopping,
Not buying,
Just shopping around.

You don't buy the first pair of shoes from the clerk,
You don't buy perfume til you spray it.
You don't buy a clock til you're sure it will work,
You don't buy a piano til you play it.
A new vacuum cleaner may be a sensation,
But ladies, always get a free trial demonstration.

So while I'm still young,
I'm sampling,
I'm taking romance
In the smorgasbord way.
From the last organ note,
Love is all table d'hote,
So if you want the best to be found.
You gotta keep shopping,
Leisurely shopping,
Not buying,
Just shopping around.
