Listen to me, girls, while I cue ya
If you got a good man, then you better let me school ya
If he comes home late at some ungodly hour
Ah, just kiss him and ask him how he likes his shower
Now that may sound peculiar
But don't you let it fool ya
A good thing is hard to come by
Fix his favorite drink, perhaps a dry martini
Make him feel that you're some kind of genie
Place his slippers in front of his easy chair
Show him that you love him, treat him with loving care
Well, I'm givin' you all the cues
So don't you be no fool
'Cause a good thing is hard to come by
Even the best men sometimes go astray
Hold on tightly, listen to what I say
Make him feel like a king sitting on a throne
And I'll bet you that that man can do no wrong
If you take my advice
Everything will be all right
'Cause a good thing is hard to come by
Don't lose your good thing
You better knock on wood
Don't lose your good thing
You got something good
Don't lose your good thing
Don't lose your good thing
Don't lose your good thing
