Lyrics Barbra Streisand – It Takes A Woman
Text:
Vandergelder:
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
For dumping the ashes
Yes it takes a woman
A dainty woman
A sweetheart, a mistress, a wife
Cornelius, Barnaby, & 2 customers:
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
O 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
Vandergelder:
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, & Barnaby:
To That dainty woman
That fragile woman
That sweetheart, that mistress, that wife
That womanly 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.
