Stepesister Lament's



Richard Rodgers - Stepesister Lament's (feat. Oscar Hammerstein II) - Текст песни

Why would a fellow want a girl like her


a frail and fluffy beauty 


why can't a fellow ever once prefer 


a solid girl like me


She's a frothy little bubble 


with a flimsy kind of charm 


and with very little trouble 


I could break her little arm.


Oh, oh why would a fellow want a girl like her


so obviously unusual 


why can't a fellow ever once prefer 


a usual girl like me


Her cheeks are a pretty shade of pink, but their no pinker than a rose is


Her skin may be delicate and soft, but it's no softer than a doe's is


Her neck is no whiter than a swan's


She's only as dainty as a daisy


She's only as graceful as a bird


So why is the fellow going crazy?


Oh why would a fellow want a girl like her,


a girl who's merely lovely, 


why can't a fellow ever once prefer 


a girl who's merely me


She's a frothy little bubble 


with a frilly sort of air 


And with very little trouble


I could pull out all her hair!


Oh why would a fellow want a girl like her,


a girl who's merely lovely, 


why can't a fellow ever once prefer 


a girl who's merely me


What's the matter with the men, 


what's the matter with the men, 


what's the matter with the men?!!
