Song of the King - Richard Rodgers, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Oscar Hammerstein II

A woman is a female who is human

Designed for pleasing man, the human male

A human male is pleased by many women

And all the rest you hear is fairy tale

Then tell me how this fairy tale began, sir

You cannot call it just a poet’s trick

Explain to me why many men are faithful

And true to one wife only

They are sick!

(sung)

A girl must be like a blossom

With honey for just one man

A man must be like honey bee

And gather all he can

To fly from blossom to blossom

A honey bee must be free

But blossom must not ever fly

From bee to bee to bee

H your Majesty, in my country we have a far off different attitude

We believe that for a man to be truly happy

He must love one woman and one woman

This idea was invented by a woman!

Oh but it’s a beautiful idea

And in England we are brought up with it

And by the time a young girl goes to her first dance

Young girl?

They dance also like I see tonight

In arms of men not her husband?

Well, of course!

I will not permit!
