A Hymn to Him - Julie Andrews

[00:0.0]A Hymn to Him - Rex Harrison
[00:1.38]What in all of heaven could've promted her to go,
[00:3.93]After such a triumph as the ball?
[00:7.12]What could've depressed her;
[00:8.56]What could've possessed her?
[00:10.2]I cannot understand the wretch at all.
[00:11.83]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[00:27.79]Women are that's irrational, all there is to that!
[00:30.58]There heads are full of cotton, hay, and rags!
[00:33.57]They're nothing but exasperating, irritating,
[00:35.51]Vacillating, calculating, agitating,
[00:37.9]Maddening and infuriating hags!
[00:47.68]Pickering, why can't a woman be more like a man?
[00:55.47]Hmm?
[00:57.03]Yes...
[00:57.4]Why can't a woman be more like a man?
[01:02.1]Men are so honest, so thoroughly square;
[01:07.3]Eternally noble, historic'ly fair;
[01:12.38]Who, when you win, will always give your back a pat.
[01:18.42]Well, why can't a woman be like that?
[01:24.67]Why does ev'ryone do what the others do?
[01:30.5]Can't a woman learn to use her head?
[01:36.12]Why do they do ev'rything their mothers do?
[01:41.23]Why don't they grow up- well, like their father instead?
[01:47.05]Why can't a woman take after a man?
[01:52.25]Men are so pleasant, so easy to please;
[01:57.87]Whenever you are with them, you're always at ease.
[01:63.07]Would you be slighted if I didn't speak for hours?
[01:67.23]Of course not!
[01:69.4]Would you be livid if I had a drink or two?
[01:73.27]Nonsense.
[01:73.58]Would you be wounded if I never sent you flowers?
[01:78.47]Never.
[01:79.72]Well, why can't a woman be like you?
[01:85.47]One man in a million may shout a bit.
[01:91.5]Now and then there's one with slight defects;
[01:97.58]One, perhaps, whose truthfulness you doubt a bit.
[02:02.67]But by and large we are a marvelous sex!
[02:08.83]Why can't a woman take after like a man?
[02:14.03]Cause men are so friendly, good natured and kind.
[02:19.45]A better companion you never will find.
[02:25.05]If I were hours late for dinner, would you bellow?
[02:29.93]Of course not!
[02:31.4]If I forgot your silly birthday, would you fuss?
[02:34.83]Nonsense.
[02:36.08]Would you complain if I took out another fellow?
[02:40.13]Never.
[02:40.98]Well, why can't a woman be like us?
[02:45.67]Mrs. Pearce, you're a woman...
[02:60.58]Why can't a woman be more like a man?
[02:67.02]Men are so decent, such regular chaps.
[02:72.33]Ready to help you through any mishaps.
[02:76.8]Ready to buck you up whenever you are glum.
[02:83.07]Why can't a woman be a chum?
[02:89.77]Why is thinking something women never do?
[02:94.68]Why is logic never even tried?
[03:00.73]Straight'ning up their hair is all they ever do.
[03:06.02]Why don't they straighten up the mess that's inside?
[03:11.85]Why can't a woman behave like a man?
[03:17.05]If I was a woman who'd been to a ball,
[03:22.58]Been hailed as a princess by one and by all;
[03:27.9]Would I start weeping like a bathtub overflowing?
[03:33.62]And carry on as if in my a home were tree?
[03:38.37]Would I run off and never tell me where I'm going?
[03:44.73]Why can't a woman be like me?
