[Verse 1]
Oh, what we need in the world today
Is a guide for the married man
Some simple thing that in every way

It's such a splendid plan
And some day soon we shall point with pride
To the guide for the married man
[Bridge]

[Verse 3]

Who treasures married bliss

What better way than this?
[Verse 4]
Each and every device we know
Should be tried for the married man
But who can question the debt he'll owe
To the guide for the married man?
This thing's universal
From Pittsburgh to Japan
Every man can be satisfied
By the guide for the married man
Guide for the Married Man was written by Leslie Bricusse & John Williams.
Guide for the Married Man was produced by Joe Wissert.
