It takes a woman.
Interprétée par Walter Matthau, Michael Crawford et Danny Lockin.
(Horace 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.
Yes it takes a woman.
A dainty woman.
A sweetheart, a mistress, a wife.
(Choeur)
O yes it takes a woman.
A fragile woman.
To bring you the sweet things in life.
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.
(Choeur)
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.
God bless femininity.
(Horace Vandergelder)
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 ?
(Horace Vandergelder, Cornelius et Barnaby)
To That dainty woman.
That fragile woman.
That sweetheart, that mistress, that wife.
That womanly wife.
O yes it takes a woman.
(Horace Vandergelder)
A husky woman.
(Horace Vandergelder, Cornelius et Barnaby)
To bring you the sweet things in life.
(Choeur)
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.
It takes a woman (reprise).
Interprétée par Barbara Streisand.
It takes a woman to quietly plan.
To take him, to change him to her kind of man.
And to gently lead him.
Where fortune can find him.
And not let him know that the power behind.
Was that dainty woman.
That fragile woman, that sweetheart.
That mistress, that wife.
