In Praise Of Women
She wouldn't therefore they didn't So then it wasn't, not unless it, would she? She doesn't, God knows she needn't Therefore it's not
He'd never therefore they haven't Which makes the question absolutely, could she? She daren't therefore I mustn't, what utter rot
Fidelity is more than mere display It's what a man expects from life Fidelity like mine to Desiree And Charlotte, my devoted wife
How was Miss Desiree Armfeldt? Good health, I trust Charlotte, my dear, I have exactly five hours Five hours, this time?
Last time it was four, I'm gaining ground She had a visitor, a lawyer in a night shirt Now that I find interesting, what did you do? Throw him out, in a night shirt? In my night shirt
What sort of a lawyer? Corporation? Marital? Criminal? Testamentory? Didn't your sister's little school friend, Anne [Incomprehensible] Marry a Frederik Egerman? Yes, she did, Frederik Egerman
The papers, he mentioned papers Some legal papers which I didn't see there Where were they The goddamn papers she had to sign?
What nonsense, he brought her papers They were important so he had to be there I'll kill him, why should I bother? The woman's mine
Besides, no matter what one might infer Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com One must have faith to some degree The least that I can do is trust in her The way that Charlotte trusts in me
What are you planning to do today? After the five hours Right now, I need a little sleep Ah, I see, in that case my plans will have to be changed
What will I do? I know, nothing Why don't you pay a visit to Martha's little school friend? Aha, she probably has no idea what her husband's up to And I could enlighten her, I will if I'm back in two hours
That still leaves us three hours, right? You're a good wife, Charlotte, the best That's a comforting thought to take with me to town, dear Just may keep me from cutting my throat on the tram
Capable, pliable women, women Undemanding and reliable, knowing their place Insufferable, yes, but gentle Their weaknesses are incidental A functional but ornamental race
Durable, sensible women, women Very nearly indispensable creatures of grace God knows the foolishness about them But if one had to live without them The world would surely be a poorer if purer place
The hip bath, about that hip bath How can you slip and trip into a hip bath? The papers, where were the papers? Of course, he might have taken back the papers
She wouldn't, therefore they didn't The woman's mine
