《A Hymn To Him》歌词

[00:00:00] What in all of heaven could've prompted her to go

[00:00:03] After such a triumph as the ball

[00:00:05] What could've depressed her

[00:00:06] What could've possessed her

[00:00:08] I cannot understand the wretch at all

[00:00:21] Women are irrational that's all there is to that

[00:00:23] There heads are full of cotton hay and rags

[00:00:26] They're nothing but exasperating irritating

[00:00:28] Vacillating calculating agitating

[00:00:30] Maddening and infuriating hags

[00:00:39] Pickering why can't a woman be more like a man

[00:00:44] Yes

[00:00:45] Why can't a woman be more like a man

[00:00:48] Men are so honest so thoroughly square

[00:00:52] Eternally noble historically fair

[00:00:56] Who when you win will always give your back a pat

[00:00:58] Well why can't a woman be like that

[00:01:04] Why does everyone do what the others do

[00:01:07] Can't a woman learn to use her head

[00:01:11] Why do they do everything their mothers do

[00:01:14] Why don't they grow up well like their father instead

[00:01:18] Why can't a woman take after a man

[00:01:21] Men are so pleasant so easy to please

[00:01:25] Whenever you are with them you're always at ease

[00:01:29] Would you be slighted if I didn't speak for hours

[00:01:31] Of course not

[00:01:32] Would you be livid if I had a drink or two

[00:01:34] Nonsense

[00:01:35] Would you be wounded if I never sent you flowers

[00:01:38] Never

[00:01:39] Well why can't a woman be like you

[00:01:43] One man in a million may shout a bit

[00:01:47] Now and then there's one with slight defects

[00:01:50] One perhaps whose truthfulness you doubt a bit

[00:01:53] But by and large we are a marvelous s*x

[00:01:57] Why can't a woman take after like a man

[00:02:00] Cause men are so friendly good natured and kind

[00:02:04] A better companion you never will find

[00:02:08] If I were hours late for dinner would you bellow

[00:02:11] Of course not

[00:02:11] If I forgot your silly birthday would you fuss

[00:02:14] Nonsense

[00:02:14] Would you complain if I took out another fellow

[00:02:17] Never

[00:02:18] Well why can't a woman be like us

[00:02:24] Mrs pearce you're a woman

[00:02:26] Why can't a woman be more like a man

[00:02:30] Men are so decent such regular chaps

[00:02:34] Ready to help you through any mishaps

[00:02:38] Ready to buck you up whenever you are glum

[00:02:41] Why can't a woman be a chum

[00:02:45] Why is thinking something women never do

[00:02:49] Why is logic never even tried

[00:02:53] Straightening up their hair is all they ever do

[00:02:56] Why don't they straighten up the mess that's inside

[00:02:59] Why can't a woman behave like a man

[00:03:03] If I was a woman who'd been to a ball

[00:03:07] Been hailed as a princess by one and by all

[00:03:10] Would I start weeping like a bathtub overflowing

[00:03:13] And carry on as if my home were in a tree

[00:03:17] Would I run off and never tell me where I'm going

[00:03:21] Why can't a woman be like me
