Can anybody help me find the lyric's to the song Nobody Does it Like Me form 'Seesaw'.

I've searched the net, but couldn't find them. But I may not be looking hard enough.

lyrics by Dorothy Fields, music by Cy Coleman. From the vocal selections, so the score might have additional verses.

If there's a wrong way to say it, a wrong way to play it,
Nobody Does It Like Me.

If there's a wrong way to do it, a right way to screw it up,
NDILM.

I've got a big loud mouth, I'm always talking much too free.
If you go for tact and manners, better stay away from me.

If there's a wrong way to keep it cool, a right way to be a fool, NDILM.

If there's a wrong bell I ring it, a wrong note I sing it,
NDILM.

If there's a problem I duck it, I don't solve it, I just muck it up, NDILM.

And so I try to be a lady--I'm no lady, I'm a fraud, and when I talk like I'm a lady---what I sound like is a broad.

If there's a wrong way to get a guy, the right way to lose a guy,
NDILM.

Nobody does it, No, nobody does it,
Nobody Does It Like Me.

that second bridge lyric, by the way ("talk like a lady") is one of the funniest and most succinct I ever heard. Great "unexpected rhyme" as Sondheim calls them.
