It takes a woman
All powdered and pink
To joyously
Clean out the drain
In the sink
And it takes an angel
With long
Golden lashes
And soft
Dresden fingers
For dumping the ashes
Yes it takes a woman
A dainty woman
A sweetheart
A mistress
A wife
Oh yes
It takes a woman
A fragile woman
To bring you
The sweet things
In life
The frail young maiden
Who's constantly there
For washing
And blueing
And shoeing the mare
And it takes
A female
For setting the table
And weaning
The Guernsey
And cleaning
The stable
Yes it takes a woman
A dainty woman
A sweetheart
A mistress
A wife
Oh yes it takes
A woman
A fragile woman
To bring you
The sweet things
In life
And so she'll work
Until infinity
Three cheers
For femininity
Rah rah rah
Rah rah rah
F-e-m-i-t-y...
And in the winter
She'll shovel
The ice
And lovingly
Set out the traps
For the mice
She's a joy
And treasure for
Practically speaking
To whom
Can you turn
When the plumbing
Is leaking?
To that dainty woman
That fragile woman
That sweetheart
That mistress
That wife...
Oh yes
It takes a woman
A husky woman
To bring you
The sweet things
In life...
Oh yes
It takes a woman
A dainty woman
A sweet heart
A mistress
A wife
Oh yes
It takes a woman
A fragile woman
To bring you
The sweet things
In life...
