My Fair Lady, Act II: "A Hymn to Him" (Henry Higgins) - Alan Jay Lerner[00:00:00]

What in all of Heaven could have prompted her to go[00:00:00]

After such a triumph at the ball[00:00:03]

What could have depressed her[00:00:06]

What could have possessed her[00:00:07]

I cannot understand the wretch at all[00:00:08]

Women are irrational that's all there is to that[00:00:21]

Their heads are full of cotton hay and rags[00:00:24]

They're nothing but exasperating irritating vacillating[00:00:26]

Calculating agitating maddening and infuriating hags[00:00:29]

Why can't a woman be more like man[00:00:40]

Why can't a woman be more like man[00:00:45]

Men are so honest so thoroughly square[00:00:49]

Eternally noble historically fair[00:00:52]

Who when you win will always give your back a pat[00:00:56]

Why can't a woman be like that[00:01:00]

Why does every one do what the others do[00:01:04]

Can't a woman learn to use her head[00:01:08]

Why do they do everything their mothers do[00:01:11]

Why don't they grow up like their father instead[00:01:14]

Why can't a woman take after a man[00:01:18]

Men are so pleasant so easy to please[00:01:22]

Whenever you're with them you're always at ease[00:01:25]

Would you be slighted if I didn't speak for hours [00:01:29]

Of course not[00:01:32]

Would you be livid if I had a drink or two [00:01:33]

Nonsense[00:01:35]

Would you be wounded if I never sent you flowers [00:01:36]

Never [00:01:39]

Well why can't a woman be like you[00:01:39]

One man in a million may shout a bit[00:01:43]

Now and then there's one with slight defects[00:01:47]

One perhaps whose truthfulness you doubt a bit[00:01:51]

But by in large we are a marvelous sex[00:01:54]

Why can't a woman take after a man[00:01:57]

Men are so friendly good natured and kind[00:02:01]

A better companion you never will find[00:02:04]

If I were hours late for dinner would you bellow [00:02:08]

Of course not[00:02:11]

If I forgot your silly birthday would you fuss [00:02:12]

Nonsense[00:02:14]

Would you complain if I took out another fellow [00:02:15]

Never [00:02:18]

Why can't a woman be like us[00:02:18]

Why can't a woman be more like a man[00:02:26]

Men are so decent such regular chaps[00:02:30]

Ready to help you through any mishaps[00:02:34]

Ready to buck you up whenever you are glum[00:02:38]

Why can't a woman be a chum[00:02:41]

Why is thinking something women never do[00:02:45]

Why is logic never even tried[00:02:49]

Straightening up their hair is all they ever do[00:02:52]

Why don't they straighten up the mess that's inside[00:02:56]

Why can't a woman behave like a man[00:03:00]

If I were a woman who'd been to a ball[00:03:03]

Been hailed as a princess by one and by all[00:03:07]

Would I start weeping like a bathtub overflowing[00:03:10]

Carry on as if my home were in a tree[00:03:14]

Would I run off and never tell me where I'm going[00:03:17]

Why can't a woman be like me[00:03:20]
