Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
What Was a Woman to Do
Last night I met a man beneath a pale
And haunted moon
A man no woman could refuse
Bold and assertive with a
Furtive air of mystery
Magically long of lash
Tragically short of cash
As he approached he wore
An aura of nobility
I wore these Ferragamo shoes
This was at last, I knew
My rendezvous with history
What was a woman
What was a woman to do?
And when he smiled he lit the night
With grace and confidence
His teeth were clean and straight and white
Just like a picket fence
I couldn't look directly at them
They were that intense
What was a woman
What was a woman to do?
I never realized how long
My heart had been ignored
He sang my name and it rang out just like
Some major chord
If music be the food of love
He ate my Smorgasbord
What was a woman
What was a woman
What was a woman to do?
Last night I met a prince
And suddenly my life has changed (Last week I met a prince and I)
I have a purpose and a cause
To help my dreamy royal boyfriend
He's off rebelling
And I'm kvelling here
But never mind
He's just so- ooo!
So suave it makes you mental
So goddamn continental
Who'd guess that I would be the only (And I'm the only)
One to whom he'd turn (And I'm the only one)
This man of brio and panache
He gave me romance and the feeling
I was young again
I gave him hope and strength and
A check made out to cash
He had the most amazing eyes
That I had ever seen
He came in with a ticket
For the Second Mezzanine
I ripped it up and put him right down
There in J-13
Miss? If you don't mind -
What was a woman
What was a woman
What was a woman to do?
And haunted moon
A man no woman could refuse
Bold and assertive with a
Furtive air of mystery
Magically long of lash
Tragically short of cash

An aura of nobility
I wore these Ferragamo shoes
This was at last, I knew
My rendezvous with history
What was a woman
What was a woman to do?
And when he smiled he lit the night

What was a woman
What was a woman to do?
