Текст песни It Takes a Woman

[Vandergelder] It takes a woman all powdered and pink To joyously clean out the drain in the sink And it takes an angel with long golden lashes And soft dresden fingers For dumping the ashes [Cornelius, Barnaby, and two customers] Yes it takes a woman A dainty woman A sweetheart, a mistress, a wife O yes it takes a woman A fragile woman To bring you the sweet things in life [Vandergelder] The frail young maiden who's constantly there For washing and blueing and shoeing the mare And it takes a female for setting the table And weaving the Guernsey And cleaning the stable All O yes it takes a woman A dainty woman A sweetheart, a mistress, a wife O yes it takes a woman A fragile woman To bring you the sweet things in life And so she'll work until infinity Three cheers for femininity Rah Rah Rah...Rah Rah Rah F. E. M. - I. T. Y [Vandergelder] F. E. M. I. T. Y? Get out of here! And in the winter she'll shovel the ice And lovingly set out the traps for the mice She's a joy and treasure for practically speaking To whom can you turn when the plumbing is leaking? [Vandergelder, Cornelius, and Barnaby] To That dainty woman That fragile woman That sweetheart, that mistress, that wife O yes it takes a woman [Vandergelder] A husky woman [Vandergelder, Cornelius, & Barnaby] To bring you the sweet things in life! All O Yes it takes a woman A dainty woman A sweetheart, a mistress, a wife O yes it takes a woman, a fragile woman To bring you the sweet things in life.
