[01:07.OO] Who, when you win Will always give your back a pat
[00:00.10] What, in all in heaven, Can have prompted her to go?
[00:03.10] After such a triumph at the ball?
[00:06.29] What could have depressed her? What could have possessed her?
[00:08.50] l cannot understand The wretch at all
[00:26.30] Women are irrational That's all there is to that
[00:29.59] Their heads are full of cotton Hay and rags
[00:32.00] They're nothing but exasperating lrritating, vacillating
[00:36.00] Calculating, agitating, maddening And infuriating hags
[00:40.50] (P:Of course not.
[00:49.90] Pickering,
[00:51.10] why can't a woman be more like a man?
[00:55.50] (P:l beg your pardon?
[00:56.00] Yes, why can't a woman Be more like a man?
[01:00.00] Men are so honest So thoroughly square
[01:03.90] Eternally noble, historically fair
[01:09.70] Well, why can't a woman Be like that?
[01:14.60] Why does everyone Do what the others do?
[01:17.70] Can't a woman learn To use her head?
[01:22.09] Why do they do everything Their mothers do?
[01:24.00] Why don't they grow up Well, like their father instead?
[01:27.00] Why can't a woman Take after a man?
[01:31.00] Men are so pleasant So easy to please
[01:34.00] Whenever you're with them You're always at ease
[01:37.00] Would you be slighted lf I didn't speak for hours?
[01:41.00] Would you be livid lf l had a drink or two?
[01:43.40] (P: Nonsense.
[01:43.90] Would you be wounded lf I never sent you flowers?
[01:46.30] (P:Never.
[01:46.70] Well, why can't a woman Be like you?
[01:51.20] One man in a million May shout a bit100
[01:54.50] Now and then There's one with slight defects
[01:57.90] One, perhaps, whose truthfulness You doubt a bit
[02:01.00] But by and large We are a marvelous ***
[02:04.70] Why can't a woman Take after a man?
[02:07.55] Because men are so friendly Good-natured and kind
[02:11.55] A better companion You never will find
[02:14.78] lf l were hours late for dinner Would you bellow?
[02:17.35] (P:Of course not.
[02:17.79] lf I forgot your silly birthday Would you fuss?
[02:20.15] (P:Nonsense.
[02:20.50] Would you complain lf l took out another fellow?
[02:23.49] (P:Never.
[02:23.94] Well, why can't a woman Be like us?
[02:35.00] Why can't a woman Be more like a man?
[02:39.70] Men are so decent Such regular chaps
[02:42.45] Ready to help you Through any mishaps
[02:45.90] Ready to buck you up Whenever you are glum
[02:48.95] Why can't a woman be a chum?
[02:53.40] Why is thinking Something women never do?
[02:56.50] Why is logic never even tried?
[03:00.20] Straightening up their hair Is all they ever do
[03:02.70] Why don't they straighten up The mess that's inside?
[03:06.00] Why can't a woman Behave like a man?
[03:10.00] lf l was a woman Who'd been to a ball
[03:13.50] Been hailed as a princess By one and by all
[03:16.30] Would l start weeping Like a bathtub overflowing?
[03:20.00] Or carry on As if my home were in a tree?
[03:23.20] Would l run off And never tell me where l'm going?
[03:26.00] Why can't a woman be like me?
