Bring on the Men (From Jekyll & Hyde: The Gothic Musical Thriller) - Linda Eder

There was a time, I don’t know when

I didn’t have much time for men

But this is now and that was then, I’m learning

A girl alone, all on her own

Must try to have a heart of stone

So I try not to make it known, my yearning

I try to show I have no need

I really do — I don’t succeed

So let’s bring on the men

And let the fun begin!

A little touch of sin

Why wait another minute?

Step this way, it’s time for us to play!

They say we may not pass this way again

So let’s waste no more time;

Bring on the men!

I always knew, I always said

That silk and lace in black and red

Will drive a man right off his head, it’s easy

So many men, so little time

I want them all, is that a crime?

No!

I don’t know why they say that I’m too easy

They make me laugh, they make me cry

They make me sick, so God knows why

We say, «Bring on the men

And let the fun begin!»

A little touch of sin

Why wait another minute?

Step this way, it’s time for us to play

They say we may not pass this way again

So let’s waste no more time;

Bring on the men!

They break your heart

They steal your soul

Take you apart

And yet they somehow make you whole!

So what’s the game?

I suppose a rose by any other name

The perfume and the prick’s the same

(interlude with prostitutes teasing johns)

I like to have a man for breakfast each day

I’m very social and I like it that way

By late mid-morning I need something to munch

So I ask over two men for lunch

And men are mad about my afternoon teas

They’re quite informal, I just do it to please

Those triple sandwiches are my favorite ones

I’m also very partial to buns!

My healthy appetite gets strongest at night

My at-home dinners are my men-friends' delight

When I invite the fellas over to dine

They all come early, in bed by nine!

So let’s bring on the men

And let the fun begin!

A little touch of sin

Why wait another minute?

Step this way, it’s time for us to play!

They say we may not pass this way again

So let’s waste no more time…

Bring on the men!

Big men, small men

Short men, tall men

I guess that means almost all men!

I’m a player, long as they are men, men, men!
