It Takes a Woman lyrics

• Copyright: Walter Matthau

  ---

  It takes a woman, all powdered and pink
  To joyously clean up 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

  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 weaning the Guernsey, and cleaning the stable

  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
  And so she'll work until infinity
  Three cheers for femininity
  God bless femininity

  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

  That womanly 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
