Barbra Streisand - It Takes A Woman lyrics

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 And soft dresden fingers 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 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, & 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.
