Rodgers & Hart — What Do You Do With a Man

[LUCE] Listen to your lady who speaks This affair has run its course I'll reside in Athens six weeks While I get me a divorce! [DROMIO of Ephesus] Listen to your lover who asks Why this battle has begun [LUCE] He has long neglected some tasks That her husband should've done! He eats me out of house and home But doesn't like my cooking! That's nothing new with a man What can you do with a man? He likes to use my brush and comb And yet he's funny looking! Home's like a zoo with a man What can you do with a man? I bought the guy pajamas I took a chance Some men wear half pajamas He wears the pants! By day he's like a five-year old At night he's ninety-seven What can you do with a man Like that? [DROMIO] When you get mad don't count to ten Go on and count a million! Don't be a shrew with a man That's what you do with a man! You need a regimental man I'm only one civilian! Wait for your cue with a man That's what you do with a man! Marriage is such a blessing So I have found! I've got a thousand a blessings Each weights a pound! I'm only five foot two right now I was once six foot seven That's what you did to a man like that! [LUCE] I wear my nicest negligee I find him reading Plato Nothing is new with a man What can you do with a man? I shook the tree of life one day And got a cold potato I'm in a stew with a man What can you do with a man? Where is his sense of duty? Where is his taste? Acres and acres of beauty Going to waste! He walks me in the woods at night To find a four-leaf clover What can you do with a man Oh like that!
