Lyrics
Chorus
Gee! ain’t I glad I’m single
Gee! ain’t I glad I’m free
Go, when I feel like going
Stay, where I want to be
I am tied up to no one
No one keeps tabs on me
Gee! ain’t I glad I’m single
Gee! ain’t I glad I’m free
Chorus
Gee! ain’t I glad I’m single
Gee! ain’t I glad I’m free
Don’t have to eat “Home Cooking”
Then pay a Doctor’s fee
Do what I feel like doing
No one to jump on me
Gee! ain’t I glad I’m single
Gee! ain’t I glad I’m free
Chorus
Gee! ain’t I glad I’m single
Gee! ain’t I glad I’m free
No string of bum relations
Living for life, off me
No kids, the whole night squalling
Lights out, so you can’t see
Gee! ain’t I glad I’m single
Gee! ain’t I glad I’m free
Chorus
Gee! ain’t I glad I’m single
Gee! ain’t I glad I’m free
Don’t have to hire detectives
No one to “shadow” me
No need to make excuses
Carry my own door key
Gee! ain’t I glad I’m single
Gee! ain’t I glad I’m free
Chorus
Gee! ain’t I glad I’m single
Gee! ain’t I glad I’m free
No “Going home to Mother”
Each time you disagree
No one to knock and nag you
No “Hell on Earth” for me
Gee! ain’t I glad I’m single
Gee! ain’t I glad I’m free
