[ti:A Hymn To Him]
[ar:The New Musical Cast]
[00:00.89]What in all in heaven could've promted her to go
[00:03.73]After such a triumph as the ball
[00:06.39]What could've depressed her;
[00:07.90]What could've possessed her
[00:09.23]I cannot understand the wretch at all
[00:23.41]Women are irrational
[00:24.74]That's all there is to that
[00:26.19]Their heads are full of cotton hay and rags
[00:29.01]They're nothing but exasperating irritating
[00:31.23]Vacillating calculating agitating
[00:33.13]Maddening and infuriating hags
[00:41.89]Pickering why can't a woman be more like a man
[00:44.97]Yes
[00:47.16]Why can't a woman be more like a man
[00:51.03]Men are so honest
[00:52.68]So thoroughly square;
[00:54.51]Eternally noble historically fair;
[00:58.40]When you win
[00:59.34]Will always give your back a pat
[01:02.27]Why can't a woman be like that
[01:06.59]Why does ev'ryone do what the others do
[01:10.09]Can't a woman learn to use her head
[01:13.89]Why do they do ev'rything their mothers do
[01:17.08]Why don't they grow up
[01:18.63]Like their father instead
[01:20.94]Why can't a woman take after a man
[01:24.64]Men are so pleasant so easy to please;
[01:28.34]Wherever you're with them
[01:30.03]You're always at ease
[01:32.07]Would you be slighted
[01:33.00]If I didn't speak for hours
[01:35.06]Of course not
[01:35.79]Would you be livid
[01:36.60]If I had a drink or two
[01:38.48]Nonsense
[01:39.60]Would you be wounded
[01:40.58]If I never sent you flowers
[01:42.55]Never
[01:43.14]Well why can't a woman be like you
[01:47.73]One man in a million may shout a bit
[01:51.19]Now and then there's one with slight defects;
[01:54.91]One perhaps
[01:56.03]Whose truthfulness you doubt a bit
[01:58.18]But by and large we are a marvelous sex
[02:02.18]Why can't a woman take after man
[02:05.65]Men are so friendly
[02:07.62]Good-natured and kind
[02:09.60]A better companion you never will find
[02:13.27]If I were hours late for dinner
[02:15.22]Would you bellow
[02:16.21]Of course not
[02:17.14]If I forgot your silly birthday
[02:19.03]Would you fuss
[02:19.96]Nonsense
[02:20.74]Would you complain
[02:21.54]If I took out another fellow
[02:23.92]Never
[02:24.41]Well why can't a woman be like us
[02:29.37]Mrs Pearce you're a woman
[02:32.29]Why can't a woman be more like a man
[02:35.72]Men are so decent such regular chaps
[02:39.54]Ready to help you through any mishaps
[02:43.32]Ready to buck you up
[02:44.80]Whenever you are glum
[02:47.29]Why can't a woman be a chum
[02:51.54]Why is thinking something women never do
[02:55.08]Why is logic never even tried
[02:58.80]Straightening up their hair is all they ever do
[03:02.08]Why don't they straighten up
[03:04.41]The mess that's inside
[03:06.07]Why can't a woman behave like a man
[03:09.63]If I was a woman who'd been to a ball
[03:13.30]Been hailed as a princess by one and by all;
[03:17.14]Would I start weeping
[03:18.07]Like a bathtub overflowing
[03:20.59]And carry on as if my home were in a tree
[03:24.45]Would I run off
[03:25.61]And never tell me where I'm going
[03:28.23]Why can't a woman be like me
文本歌词
What in all in heaven could've promted her to go
After such a triumph as the ball
What could've depressed her;
What could've possessed her
I cannot understand the wretch at all
Women are irrational
That's all there is to that
Their heads are full of cotton hay and rags
They're nothing but exasperating irritating
Vacillating calculating agitating
Maddening and infuriating hags
Pickering why can't a woman be more like a man
Yes
Why can't a woman be more like a man
Men are so honest
So thoroughly square;
Eternally noble historically fair;
When you win
Will always give your back a pat
Why can't a woman be like that
Why does ev'ryone do what the others do
Can't a woman learn to use her head
Why do they do ev'rything their mothers do
Why don't they grow up
Like their father instead
Why can't a woman take after a man
Men are so pleasant so easy to please;
Wherever you're with them
You're always at ease
Would you be slighted
If I didn't speak for hours
Of course not
Would you be livid
If I had a drink or two
Nonsense
Would you be wounded
If I never sent you flowers
Never
Well why can't a woman be like you
One man in a million may shout a bit
Now and then there's one with slight defects;
One perhaps
Whose truthfulness you doubt a bit
But by and large we are a marvelous sex
Why can't a woman take after man
Men are so friendly
Good-natured and kind
A better companion you never will find
If I were hours late for dinner
Would you bellow
Of course not
If I forgot your silly birthday
Would you fuss
Nonsense
Would you complain
If I took out another fellow
Never
Well why can't a woman be like us
Mrs Pearce you're a woman
Why can't a woman be more like a man
Men are so decent such regular chaps
Ready to help you through any mishaps
Ready to buck you up
Whenever you are glum
Why can't a woman be a chum
Why is thinking something women never do
Why is logic never even tried
Straightening up their hair is all they ever do
Why don't they straighten up
The mess that's inside
Why can't a woman behave like a man
If I was a woman who'd been to a ball
Been hailed as a princess by one and by all;
Would I start weeping
Like a bathtub overflowing
And carry on as if my home were in a tree
Would I run off
And never tell me where I'm going
Why can't a woman be like me
