Julie Andrews - If I Were a Man lyrics

[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!
