A Little Night Music: In Praise of Women

She wouldn't
 Therefore, they didn't
 So then, it wasn't
 Not unless it's - Would he?
 She doesn't
 God knows she needn't
 Therefore, it's not
 He'd never
 Therefore, they haven't
 Which makes the question absolutely -
 Could he?
 She daren't
 Therefore, I mustn't
 What utter rot!
 Fidelity is more than mere display
 It's what a man expects from life
 Fidelity like mine to Desiree
 And Charlotte, my devoted wife
 ♪
 The papers
 He mentioned papers
 Some legal papers which I didn't see there
 Where were they?
 The goddamn papers
 She had to sign
 What nonsense
 He brought her papers
 They were important, so he had to be there
 I'll kill him
 Why should I bother?
 The woman's mine
 Besides, no matter what one might infer
 One must have faith to some degree
 The least that I can do is trust in her
 The way that Charlotte trusts in me
 ♪
 Capable, pliable women
 Women
 Undemanding and reliable
 Knowing their place
 Insufferable, yes, but gentle
 Their weaknesses are incidental
 A functional, but ornamental race
 Durable, sensible women
 Women
 Very nearly indispensable creatures of grace
 God knows the foolishness about them
 But if one had to live without them
 The world would surely be a poorer, if purer, place
 The hip bath
 About that hip bath
 How can you slip and trip into a hip bath?
 The papers
 Where were the papers?
 Of course, he might have taken back the papers
 She wouldn't
 Therefore they didn't
 The woman's mine!
