[00:00.00]Sobbin' Women - Howard Keel/Betty Hutton/Red Skelton
[00:25.94]Tell you about them sobbing women
[00:27.92]Who lived in the Roman days
[00:30.35]It seems that they all went swimming
[00:32.63]While their man was off to graze
[00:35.22]Well a Roman Troop was riding by
[00:37.86]And saw them in their me-oh-my
[00:40.25]So they took them all back home to dry
[00:42.68]Least that's what Plutarch says
[00:44.77]Oh yes them a-women was sobbing
[00:47.03]Sobbing sobbing fit to be tied
[00:50.38]Every muscle was throbbing throbbing
[00:52.36]From that riotious ride
[00:55.32]Seems they cried and kissed
[00:57.16]And kissed and cried
[00:58.44]All over that Roman countryside
[01:00.77]So don't forget that
[01:03.43]When you're taking a bride
[01:05.80]Sobbing fit to be tied
[01:08.19]From that riotious ride
[01:14.00]They never did return their plunder
[01:16.30]The victor gets all the loot
[01:18.67]They carried them home by thunder
[01:20.97]To rotundas small but cute
[01:23.59]And you've never seen so they tell me
[01:26.06]Such downright domesticity
[01:28.54]With a Roman baby on each knee
[01:30.84]Named Claudius and Brute
[01:33.05]Oh yes them a-women was sobbing
[01:35.05]Sobbing sobbing passing them nights
[01:38.64]While the Romans was going out
[01:40.25]Hobnobbing starting up fights
[01:43.49]They kept occupied by sewing lots
[01:46.54]Of little old togas for them tots
[01:49.01]And saying "Some day women folks will have rights"
[01:54.16]Passing all of their nights
[01:55.71]Just sewing
[01:56.41]While the Romans had fights
[01:59.78]When the men folk went to fetch them
[02:02.41]The women would not be fetched
[02:04.71]It seems when the Romans catch them
[02:07.07]Their lady friends stay catched
[02:09.00]Right
[02:09.51]Now let this be because it's true
[02:11.85]A lesson to the likes of you
[02:14.14]Rough them up like them there Romans do
[02:16.53]Or else they'll think you're tetched
[02:18.61]Oh yes them women were sobbing
[02:20.76]Sobbing sobbing buckets of tears
[02:23.26]Mighty sad
[02:24.21]On account of dobbin dobbin
[02:26.09]Really rattled their ears
[02:28.19]And that ain't all
[02:29.44]Oh they acted angry and annoyed
[02:32.19]But secretly they were overjoyed
[02:34.67]You might recall that
[02:37.01]When corralling your steers
[02:38.81]Oh oh oh them poor little dears
[02:43.64]Oh yes them a-women was sobbing
[02:45.79]Sobbing sobbing weeping a ton
[02:48.23]Ah them sobbing women
[02:49.54]Just remember what Robin Robin
[02:51.43]Robin Hood would have done
[02:53.39]Ah them sobbing women
[02:54.64]We'll be just like them there merry men
[02:57.56]And make them all merry once again
[02:59.73]And though they'll be a-sobbing for a while
[03:03.25]Oh yes we're gonna make them
[03:05.56]Sobbing women smile
