pearl bailey - i put my hand in lyrics

[new yorkers]
call on dolly
she’s the one the spinsters recommend
just name the kind of man
your sister wants and she’ll sn+tch ’em up
don’t forget to bring your maiden aunts and she’ll match ’em up
call on dolly
if your eldest daughter needs a friend

[ambrose]
tell me mrs. levi: what’s in all this for you?

[dolly]
a living, mr. kemper. some paint, some sew, i meddle

i have always been a woman who arranges things
for the pleasure and the profit it derives
i have always been a woman who arranges things
like furniture and daffodils and lives

when a man with a timid tongue
meets a girl with a diffident air
why should the tortured creatures beat around the bush
when heaven knows mother nature always needs a little push
so i put my hand in here
i put my hand in there
and a girl over six foot three
loves a man who comes up to her ear
surely it’s obvious she’ll never be seduced
’til some kind soul condescends
to give her beau a little boost
so i put my hand in there
i put my hand in here
i have always been a woman who arranges things
it’s my duty to assist the lord above
i have always been a woman who arranges things
like luncheon parties, poker games, and love
my aplomb at cosmetic art
turned a frump to a trump lady fair
she had a countenance a little bit like scrooge
but oh today you would swear the lord himself applied the rouge
i put my hand in here
and twist a little, stir a little
him a little, her a little
shape a little, mold a little
some poor chap gets sold a little
when i use my fist a little
some young bride gets kissed a little
pressure with the thumbs
matrimony comes
when, i put my hand in there
