Dolly<br>

I have always been a woman who arranges things <br>

For the pleasure and the profit it derives<br>

I have always been a woman who arranges things <br>

Like furniture and daffodils and lives<br>

<br>

(Hands purse to Ambrose)<br>

<br>

When a man with a timid tongue<br>

Meets a girl with a diffident air<br>

Why should the tortured creatures beat around the bush<br>

When heaven knows mother nature always needs a little push<br>

So I put my hand in here<br>

I put my hand in there<br>

And a girl over 6 foot 3<br>

Loves a man who comes up to her ear<br>

Surely it's obvious she'll never be seduced<br>

'Til some kind soul condescends <br>

To give her beau a little boost<br>

So I put my hand in there<br>

I put my hand in here<br>

<br>

I have always been a woman who arranges things<br>

It's my duty to assist the Lord above<br>

I have always been a woman who arranges things<br>

Like luncheon parties, poker games, and love<br>

My aplomb at cosmetic art<br>

Turned a frump to a trump lady fair<br>

She had a countenance a little bit like scrooge <br>

But oh today you would swear the Lord himself applied the rouge<br>

When I put my hand in here<br>

I put my hand in there!<br>

<br>

(Short dance interlude)<br>

<br>

I put my hand in here<br>

I twist a little, stir a little<br>

Him a little, her a little<br>

Shape a little, mold a little<br>

Some poor chap gets sold a little<br>

When I use my fist a little<br>

Some young bride gets kissed a little<br>

Pressure with the thumbs<br>

Matrimony comes<br>

When, I put my hand in there...<br>

<br>

For when my little pink wiggles<br>

Some young maiden gets the giggles<br>

Then I make my knuckles active<br>

"My" he says "She's so attractive."<br>

Then I move my index digit<br>

And they both begin to fidget<br>

Then I clench my palm<br>

The preacher reads a psalm<br>

When I put my hand in there!<br>

<br>
