[VICTORIA]
If I were a man
I could do a lot of things a woman never can
[TODDY]
Like what, for example?
[VICTORIA]
Well, be free to plot and plan
Free to live my life without permission from a man
Man a**umes that the world is tailor made for him
Which it is
He presumes that the world indulges every whim
If it's his
What a fabulous pursuit
Hands in pockets, running things;
I must say, it appeals
In my hundred dollar suit
Toying with my golden fob-watch
As I make my deals
Lucky man who is not made to feel
Like an also-ran
What a lovely life I'd plan
If I were a man
I would build all the tallest buildings
Reaching up to the sky
I'd explore every far off land
And I would learn how to fly!
What a triumph it would be
Doing all that fellas do, but better
And with style
Would be just my cup-of-tea;
They will all be furious
And I would simply smile
As a man, I would not need to feel like an also-ran
Though I know I never can ever be a man
Oh, the life that I would plan
If I were a man!
