Men (Man) Without Ties Lyrics

Men without ties don't dress for dinner
Do the Friday night frozen pizza thing
Don't want no wife or no beginner
You're the Friday night frozen pizza king

Everything you buy is soon expired
Some neighbors they're a-thinking that you're gay
Others they assume that you've been fired
See you smoking cigarettes all day

Men without ties don't dress for dinner
Do the Friday night frozen pizza thing
Don't want no wife or no beginner, with a knife
You're the Friday night frozen pizza king

On Saturday they won't catch you in your yard
You're dreaming of tonight's fine cuisine
With a microwave and a library card
It'll taste like plastic, but it'll be faster!
Ha, sing it!

Men without ties... it's about time

Men without ties don't dress for dinner
Men without ties don't need a thing
Don't want no wife, show to cut by
Man without ties is king

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

A song celebrating the good and bad aspectas of bachelorhood. Great song and the usual wise ass lyrics of Westerberg are dead on here.

Loved this song the first time I heard it. It's a classic!

Westerberg always had a reputation for songs about "beautiful losers". This is another great one.
