Possibly by Roger Miller song, we're looking for the lyrics to a song with the words, "if you won't be my #1, #2 on you.

Thanks, John

I don't know the song, but it reminds me of the company in Southern Oregon whose business it is to clean out septic tanks. The truck was called "the Honey Truck" and their slogan was "We're number one in the number two business". Haha

I think that's "If I can't be your number one, number two on you."

A band called Guff recorded IF YOU WON'T BE MY #1 (#2 ON YOU) on their album "Engine Trouble," Go Kart CD #104, 2003. They're classified as "Punk-pop" according to allmusic. I listened to a sound sample, but it's mostly unintelligible, typical punk-band stuff.

I suspect this title was a joke before it was an actual song.

There are several web sites out there that attribute this, or a song with a similar title, to Roger Miller, but any reputable discography I can find doesn't list it.

IF YOU WON'T BE MY NUMBER ONE
(Not Released by Roger)

Oh the ways of love are hard enough, to understand as it is
Without you going out on me, and hurtin' me like this
While other folks are makin' love, we're just makin' do
If you won't be my number one, number two on you

Well, if you won't be my number one, number two on you
Out the back door down the path, you old two-timer you
Well who says you go run and play, while I go boo hoo hoo
If you won't be my number one, number two on you

Oh there ain't a claw in all the world, enough to scratch your itch
If lonely hours and whisky sours were gold, then I'd be rich
Well who says you hang out till one, while I stay up till two
If you won't be my number one, number two on you

Well, if you won't be my number one, number two on you
Out the back door down the path, you old two-timer you
While other folks are makin' love, we're just makin' do
If you won't be my number one, number two on you

On this link it is attributed to Roger Miller. However, it was not released by him.

Joe Offer, you might wanna take note of this link and the one I posted above. FYI.
