It Takes a Woman

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
 O 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 weaving the Guernsey
 And cleaning the stable
 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
 Rah Rah Rah... Rah Rah Rah
 F. E. M. - I. T. Y
 Get out of here!
 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
 O yes it takes a woman
 A husky woman
 To bring you the sweet things in life!
 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.
