It Takes a Woman
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
Oh yes, it takes a woman
A fragile woman
To bring you the sweet things in life!
A frail young maiden
Who's constantly there
For washing and blueing
And shoeing a mare
And it takes a female
For setting the table
And weaning the Guernsey
And cleaning the stable
It takes a woman
A dainty woman
A sweetheart, a mistress, a wife
Oh 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!
Ah, haha
Rah rah rah
F-E-M-I-T-Y
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?
To that dainty woman
That fragile woman
That sweetheart, that mistress, that wife
Oh yes, it takes a woman
(A husky woman)
To bring you the sweet things in life!
Oh yes, it takes a woman
A dainty woman
A sweetheart, a mistress, a wife
Oh yes
It takes a woman
A fragile woman
To bring you the sweet things in life!
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
Oh yes, it takes a woman
A fragile woman
To bring you the sweet things in life!
A frail young maiden
Who's constantly there
For washing and blueing
And shoeing a mare
And it takes a female
For setting the table
And weaning the Guernsey
And cleaning the stable
It takes a woman
A dainty woman
A sweetheart, a mistress, a wife
Oh 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!
Ah, haha
Rah rah rah
F-E-M-I-T-Y
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?
To that dainty woman
That fragile woman
That sweetheart, that mistress, that wife
Oh yes, it takes a woman
(A husky woman)
To bring you the sweet things in life!
Oh yes, it takes a woman
A dainty woman
A sweetheart, a mistress, a wife
Oh yes
It takes a woman
A fragile woman
To bring you the sweet things in life!
