stephen sondheim – in praise of women lyrics
[carl-magnus:]
she wouldn’t…therefore they didn’t
so then it wasn’t…not unless it…would she?
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 she?
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 godd-mn papers she had to sign?
what nonsense! he brought her papers
they were important, so he had to be there
i’ll k!ll 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
understanding 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!
