It Takes A Woman Paroles

[Cornelius, Barnaby, and two customers]
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

[Vandergelder]
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

All
O yes it takes a woman
A dainty woman
A sweetheart, a mistress, a wife Three cheers for femininity
Rah Rah Rah...Rah Rah Rah
F. E. M. - I. T. Y

[Vandergelder]
F. E. M. I. T. Y?
Get out of here!
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?

[Vandergelder, Cornelius, and Barnaby]
To That dainty woman
That fragile woman
That sweetheart, that mistress, that wife
O yes it takes a woman

[Vandergelder]
A husky woman
[Vandergelder, Cornelius, & Barnaby]
To bring you the sweet things in life!

All
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.
