Verse 1

  What we need in the world today

  Is a guide for the married man

  Some simple thing that in every way

  Would provide for the harried man

  Help him not to worry

  Assist him to relax

  Help him slow his heart rate

  And spare him cardiacs

Verse 2

Such a guide would in many ways

Turn the tide for the married man

Enable husbands to fill their days

As only the married can

  Every man would praise it

  It's such a splendid plan

  Someday soon we shall point with pride

  To the guide for the married man

Verse 3 [chords as per verse 1]:

By the side of the married man

'Tis the lady who shares his life

You help the bride of the married man

By removing the husband's strife

Every wife who's truthful

Who treasures married bliss

Must keep her husband youthful

What better way than this?

[key change to B]

Verse 4

  Each and every device we know

  Must be tried for the married man

  But who can question the debt he'll owe

  To the guide for the married man

  List things universal

  From Pittsburgh to Japan

  Every man can be satisfied

  By the guide for the married man
