Ladies First - Marlo Thomas[00:00:00]
Did you hear the one about the little girl who was a tender[00:00:03]
Sweet young thing[00:00:05]
Well that's the way she thought of herself[00:00:06]
And this tender[00:00:08]
Sweet young thing spent a great deal of time just looking in the mirror[00:00:10]
And saying[00:00:14]
I am a real little lady anybody could tell that[00:00:15]
I wear lovely starched cotton dresses with matching ribbons in my lovely curly locks[00:00:20]
I wear clean white socks and shiny black patent leather shoes[00:00:26]
And I always put just a dab of perfume behind each ear[00:00:31]
When she was at the end of the lunch line at school[00:00:38]
All she had to say was[00:00:41]
Ladies first ladies first[00:00:42]
And she'd get right up to the front of the line[00:00:45]
Well her life went on like that for quite a while[00:00:47]
And she wound up having a pretty good time[00:00:50]
You know admiring herself in mirrors[00:00:52]
And always getting to be first in line and stuff like that[00:00:55]
And then one day she went exploring with a whole group of other people[00:01:00]
Through the wilds of the deep and beastly jungle[00:01:05]
As she went along through the tangled trails and the prickly vines[00:01:08]
She would say things like[00:01:12]
I have got to be careful of my lovely dress[00:01:13]
And my nice white socks and my shiny[00:01:18]
Shiny shoes and my curly curly locks[00:01:21]
So would somebody please clear the way for me[00:01:24]
And they did[00:01:29]
Or sometimes she'd say[00:01:31]
What do you mean there aren't enough mangoes to go around[00:01:33]
And I'll have to share my mango[00:01:37]
Because I was the last one across that icky river full of crocodiles and snakes[00:01:40]
No matter how last I am it's still 'ladies first ladies first[00:01:45]
So hand over a whole mango please[00:01:51]
And they did[00:01:54]
Well then guess what happened[00:01:56]
Out of nowhere the exploring party was seized[00:01:59]
Grabbed up by a bunch of hungry tigers[00:02:03]
And these tigers tied all the people up[00:02:06]
And dragged them back to their tiger lair where they sniffed around[00:02:09]
Trying to decide what would make the best dinner[00:02:13]
How about this one said the tiger chief[00:02:16]
Nah too boney said the others[00:02:19]
Well what about this one it's got a lot of meat on it[00:02:22]
Uh-uh meaty but muscley[00:02:25]
Oh for heaven's sakes don't take all night said the chief tiger[00:02:28]
I never saw such a pack of picky eaters how about this one then[00:02:32]
Looks tender smells nice[00:02:37]
In fact I never saw anything quite like it before I wonder what it is[00:02:41]
I am a tender sweet young thing[00:02:46]
Oh far out said the tiger chief[00:02:49]
I am also a little lady[00:02:52]
You should know that by my lovely clothes and my lovely smell[00:02:55]
And if it's all the same to you tiger tweetie[00:03:00]
I wish you'd stop licking me[00:03:03]
And untie me this instant my dress is getting mussed[00:03:05]
Yes uh the tiger said well as a matter of fact[00:03:11]
We were all just uh trying to decide who to untie first[00:03:14]
Ladies first ladies first she said and so she was[00:03:20]
And mighty tasty too[00:03:25]
