The Boys From Syracuse movie - What can you do with a man? lyrics

rate me

<br>

LUCE: <br>

Listen to your lady who speaks.<br>

This affair has run its course.<br>

I'll reside in Athens six weeks<br>

While I get me a divorce.<br>

<br>

DROMIO: <br>

Listen to your lover who asks<br>

Why this battle has begun.<br>

<br>

LUCE: <br>

He has long neglected some tasks<br>

That a husband should have done.<br>

<br>

<br>

He eats me out of house and home<br>

But doesn't like my cooking.<br>

That's nothing new with a man.<br>

What can you do with a man?<br>

He likes to use my brush and comb<br>

And yet he' s funny-looking.<br>

Home's like a zoo with a man.<br>

What can you do with a man?<br>

Some men wear half pajamas.<br>

I took a chance.<br>

I bought the guy pajamas-<br>

He wears the pants.<br>

By day he's like a five-year-old;<br>

At night he's ninety-seven.<br>

What can you do with a man like that?<br>

<br>

DROMIO: <br>

When you get mad, don't count to ten,<br>

Go on and count a million.<br>

Don't be a shrew with a man.<br>

That's what you do with a man.<br>

You need a regiment of men-<br>

I'm only one civilian.<br>

Wait for your cue with a man.<br>

That's what you do with a man.<br>

Marriage is such a blessing,<br>

So I have found.<br>

I've got a thousand blessings,<br>

Each weighs a pound.<br>

I'm only four foot ten right now,<br>

I once was five foot seven.<br>

That's what you did to a man like that!<br>

<br>

<br>

LUCE: <br>

I wear my nicest negligee<br>

And find him reading Plato.<br>

Nothing is new with a man.<br>

What can you do with a man?<br>

I shook the tree of life one day<br>

And got a cold Potato.<br>

I'm in a stew with a man.<br>

What can you do with a man?<br>

Where is his sense of duty,<br>

Where is his taste?<br>

Acres and acres of beauty<br>

Going to waste!<br>

He walks me in the woods at night<br>

To find a four-leaf clover.<br>

What can you do with a man like that?<br>

<br>
