What's Good For The Goose

What's good for the Goose
Is good for the Gander
What's good for the gander
Is good for the goose
What you do
I can do also
And that's the way
It's going to be


I Know that you, love the ladies
I know that the ladies love you
I fell for the charm, and the passion
I wouldn't trade it
For all the money in the world
But the next time
You go stepping out
Just remember

I'll be the next one out the door


Cause
What's good for the Goose
Is good for the Gander
What's good for the gander
Is good for the goose
What you do
I can do also
And that's the way
It's going to be


So let's go out dancing
Have a few drinks
Close the bars up
And make love till dawn
Together we can do it
Have our self a good time
Together as one


Cause
What's good for the Goose
Is good for the Gander
What's good for the gander
Is good for the goose
What you do
I can do also
Being together as one


What's good for the Goose
Is good for the Gander
What's good for the gander
Is good for the goose
What you do
I can do also
And that's the way
It should be

Written for a woman singer.  Another Song written long ago,  Still not quit satisfied with the verses.  Can't get the chorus out of my head.

    Outstanding Piece!

    Charlie - Your song here is very lovely, quaint and charming, I like it no matter what others think about the wording, etc. I would really like to hear it being played and/or sang by You, O Silent One. Do you play an instrument? Your pen flows very well... And you have charisma, that's all that matters to me, anyway! Write on, shine on, O Silent One!! Always Enthralled - Lee

    Outstanding

    I agree with the above comment, Catchy. I understand what you mean about the chorus. It would be easy to catch on and sing along with. As far as the verses I think you did pretty good. Just in the third one,

    Being together as one
    It's the way it should be.

    I think if you expand on these thoughts with a couple lines.
    Just to expand the third verse a little.

    But it is still wonderful. Keep them coming.

    Catchy

    As you've asked for a critical review, I will give you my inexpert reaction -
    This repeated line bugs me "What good for the gander" cos should it read What's?
    It is quite difficult to read as lyrics as the chorus runs into the verses - maybe separate them by a blank line.
    Don't know how you've written them elsewhere but maybe you would find it easier to work on the verses if you write them out on their own substituting the word "chorus" where the actual chorus would be - then just on a visual level it should be easier???? Certainly the second verse has a completely different rhythm to the first, though as a poem I think it works.
    As a piece - I enjoyed it - really liked the language and message - if you do alter it be careful not to lose it's heart and have to agree the chorus or repeated verse is very catchy.
    Best wishes
