A GUY IS A GUY- words and music by Oscar Brand- adapted from the naughty World War II soldiers' song "A Gob Is A Slob". Brand cleaned up the lyrics. "A Gob Is A Slob" was based on the 1719 British song "I Went To the Alehouse (A Knave Is A Knave)"- lyrics as recorded by Doris Day in 1951I walked down the street like a good girl shouldHe followed me down the street like I knew he wouldBecause a guy is a guy wherever he may beSo listen and I'll tell you what this fella did to meI walked to my house like a good girl shouldHe followed me to my house like I knew he wouldBecause a guy is a guy wherever he may beSo listen while I tell you what this fella did to meI never saw the boy beforeSo nothin' could be sillierAt closer range his face was strangeBut his manner was familiarSo I walked up the stairs like a good girl shouldHe followed me up the stairs like I knew he wouldBecause a guy is a guy wherever he may beSo listen and I'll tell you what this fella did to meI stepped to my door like a good girl shouldHe stopped at my door like I knew he wouldBecause a guy is a guy wherever he may beSo listen while I tell you what this fella did to meHe asked me for a good-night kissI said, "It's still good day"I would have told him more exceptHis lips got in the waySo I talked to my ma like a good girl shouldAnd Ma talked to Pa like I knew she wouldAnd they all agreed on a married life for meThe guy is my guy wherever he may beSo I walked down the aisle like a good girl shouldHe followed me down the aisle like I knew he wouldBecause a guy is a guy wherever he may beAnd now you've heard the story of what someone did to meAnd that's what he did to me
