betty hutton – doin’ it the hard way lyrics
at the early age of three
it first occured to me
a girl should always try to improve herself.
while the others played with toys
i practiced charm and poise.
and finished dr. elliot’s five foot sh-ll.
i exercised each morning,
cold creamed my face each night,
saw my dentist twice a year,
curbed my appet-te.
and so i modestly admit
it didn’t help one single bit!
some girls can make any man dream
by flashing an innocent gleam.
me, i do and hiccup, curl my upper lip up,
light a roman candle and scream.
i have to do it the hard way!
some girls can wear any old rags
and capture the wolves and the stags.
me, i dress in sables, walk across the tables
waving three american flags.
i have to do it the hard way.
let’s say there’s a dance
they’re playing a waltz.
and i want romance,
that’s when i begin turning sommersalts.
some girls can keep men on their toes
by smiling and throwing a rose,
me, i wrack my noodle, whistle “yankee doodle”
balancing a broom on my nose.
oh ima telling you why!
i have to do it the hard way.
i have to do it the hard way.
suppose there’s a park,
a boy on a bench.
i’m out for a lark
so i make him fall with a monkey wrench.
when someone like hedy lamarr
steps into the sw-nkiest bar,
all the fellas get up
light her cigarette up.
me, i’d have to smoke a cigar.
and then they call me a car.
dr., is there a chance for me?
can’t you cure this insanity?
i’m tired of tearing up the town being one of the sights
wearing funny hats trimmed in neon lights.
why must all i always be bettered and scorned
doin’ everything the hard way?
