Rodgers And Hammerstein

Rodgers And Hammerstein - Stepesister Lament's lyrics

rate me

Why would a fellow want a girl like her

a frail and fluffy beauty

why can't a fellow ever once prefer

a solid girl like me

She's a frothy little bubble

with a flimsy kind of charm

and with very little trouble

I could break her little arm.

Oh, oh why would a fellow want a girl like her

so obviously unusual

why can't a fellow ever once prefer

a usual girl like me

Her cheeks are a pretty shade of pink, but their no pinker than a rose is

Her skin may be delicate and soft, but it's no softer than a doe's is

Her neck is no whiter than a swan's

She's only as dainty as a daisy

She's only as graceful as a bird

So why is the fellow going crazy?

Oh why would a fellow want a girl like her,

a girl who's merely lovely,

why can't a fellow ever once prefer

a girl who's merely me

She's a frothy little bubble

with a frilly sort of air

And with very little trouble

I could pull out all her hair!

Oh why would a fellow want a girl like her,

a girl who's merely lovely,

why can't a fellow ever once prefer

a girl who's merely me

What's the matter with the men,

what's the matter with the men,

what's the matter with the men?!!
