What we need in the world todayIs a guide for the married manSome simple thing that in every wayWould provide for the harried manHelp him not to worryAssist him to relaxHelp him slow his heart rateAnd spare him cardiacsSuch a guide would in many waysTurn the tide for the married manEnable husbands to fill their daysAs only the married canEvery man would praise itIt’s such a splendid planSomeday soon we shall point with prideTo the guide for the married manBy the side of the married man‘Tis the lady who shares his lifeYou help the bride of the married manBy removing the husband’s strifeEvery wife who’s truthfulWho treasures married blissMust keep her husband youthfulWhat better way than this?Each and every device we knowMust be tried for the married manBut who can question the debt he’ll oweTo the guide for the married manList things universalFrom Pittsburgh to JapanEvery man can be satisfiedBy the guide for the married man
