You Can't Get a Man With a Gun -Annie Get Your Gun

Hiya folks! I've been rather busy lately so I thought I'd catch up today and post a couple of things. The first here is this fun number from Irving Berlin's Annie Get Your Gun where the lovable tomboy gunslinger Annie Oakley laments how her interests don't attract men. It's a fun little number which has been sung by the likes of Ethel Merman, Betty Hutton and Bernadette Peters. My favorite version however, is Reba McEntire's which has a really great orchestration and pace. I couldn't find a good video of Reba's version but Megan Mullally has a pretty great version too (see the video below!).
I invite you all to sing as Annie and inject as much sass and spunk into it as you can!
Here are the lyrics:

Oh, my mother was frightened by a shotgun, they say
That's why I'm such a wonderful shot
I'd be out in the cactus and I'd practice all day
And now tell me what have I got?

I'm quick on the trigger with targets not much bigger
Than a pinpoint. I'm number one
But my score with a feller is lower than a cellar
Oh you can't get a man with a gun

When I'm with a pistol, I sparkle like a crystal
Yes, I shine like the morning sun
But I lose all my luster, when with a bronco buster
Oh you can't get a man with a gun

With a gun, with a gun, oh you can't get a man with a gun!

If I went to battle with someone's herd of cattle
You'd have steak when the job was done
But, if I shot the herder, they'd holler bloody murder
And you can't shoot a male in the tail like a quail
Oh you can't get a man with a gun

I'm cool, brave, and daring to see a lion glaring
When I'm out with my Remington
But a look from a mister will raise a fever blister
Oh you can't get a man with a gun

The gals with umbrellas are always out with fellers
In the rain or the blazin' sun
But a man never trifles with gals who carry rifles
Oh you can't get a man with a gun

With a gun, with a gun, oh you can't get a man with a gun

A man's love is mighty, he'll even buy a nightie
For a gal who he thinks is fun
But they don't buy pajamas for pistol packin' mamas
And you can't get a hug from a mug, with a slug
Oh you can't get a man with a gun!

Here's Megan Mullally in a tribute to Reba McEntire. Who knew Karen from Will & Grace had such great singing pipes!? (Actually, she's been in quite a few Broadway musicals, but I'll post more about her in the future):
