[Luce] Listen to your lady who speaks. This affair has run its course. I'll reside in Athens six weeks While I get me a divorce. [Dromio] Listen to your lover who asks Why this battle has begun. [Luce] He has long neglected some tasks That a husband should have done. He eats me out of house and home But doesn't like my cooking. That's nothing new with a man. What can you do with a man? He likes to use my brush and comb And yet he's funny-looking. Home's like a zoo with a man. What can you do with a man? Some men wear half pajamas. I took a chance. I bought the guy pajamas- He wears the pants. By day he's like a five-year-old; SongtexteAt night he's ninety-seven. What can you do with a man like that? [Dromio] When you get mad, don't count to ten, Go on and count a million. Don't be a shrew with a man. That's what you do with a man. You need a regiment of men- I'm only one civilian. Wait for your cue with a man. That's what you do with a man. Marriage is such a blessing, So I have found. I've got a thousand blessings, Each weighs a pound. I'm only four foot ten right now, I once was five foot seven. That's what you did to a man like that! [Luce] I wear my nicest negligee And find him reading Plato. Nothing is new with a man. What can you do with a man? I shook the tree of life one day And got a cold potato. I'm in a stew with a man. What can you do with a man? Where is his sense of duty, Where is his taste? Acres and acres of beauty Going to waste! He walks me in the woods at night To find a four-leaf clover. What can you do with a man like that? Aus Songtexte Mania
