[ti:A Hymn To Him] [ar:Rex Harrison] [al:My Fair Lady Soundtrack] [offset:0] [00:00.00]A Hymn to Him - Rex Harrison [00:01.38]What in all of heaven could've promted her to go, [00:03.93]After such a triumph as the ball? [00:07.12]What could've depressed her; [00:08.56]What could've possessed her? [00:10.20]I cannot understand the wretch at all. [00:11.83]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [00:27.79]Women are that's irrational, all there is to that! [00:30.58]There heads are full of cotton, hay, and rags! [00:33.57]They're nothing but exasperating, irritating, [00:34.56] [00:35.51]Vacillating, calculating, agitating, [00:37.90]Maddening and infuriating hags! [00:40.97] [00:47.68]Pickering, why can't a woman be more like a man? [00:55.47]Hmm? [00:57.03]Yes... [00:57.40]Why can't a woman be more like a man? [01:01.26]Men are so honest, so thoroughly square; [01:04.38]Eternally noble, historic'ly fair; [01:07.43]Who, when you win, will always give your back a pat. [01:11.05]Well, why can't a woman be like that? [01:14.80]Why does ev'ryone do what the others do? [01:18.30]Can't a woman learn to use her head? [01:21.67]Why do they do ev'rything their mothers do? [01:24.74]Why don't they grow up- well, like their father instead? [01:28.23]Why can't a woman take after a man? [01:31.35]Men are so pleasant, so easy to please; [01:34.72]Whenever you are with them, you're always at ease. [01:37.84]Would you be slighted if I didn't speak for hours? [01:40.34]Of course not! [01:41.64]Would you be livid if I had a drink or two? [01:43.96]Nonsense. [01:44.15]Would you be wounded if I never sent you flowers? [01:47.08]Never. [01:47.83]Well, why can't a woman be like you? [01:51.28]One man in a million may shout a bit. [01:54.90]Now and then there's one with slight defects; [01:57.14] [01:58.55]One, perhaps, whose truthfulness you doubt a bit. [02:01.60]But by and large we are a marvelous sex! [02:05.30]Why can't a woman take after like a man? [02:08.42]Cause men are so friendly, good natured and kind. [02:11.67]A better companion you never will find. [02:15.03]If I were hours late for dinner, would you bellow? [02:17.96]Of course not! [02:18.84]If I forgot your silly birthday, would you fuss? [02:20.90]Nonsense. [02:21.65]Would you complain if I took out another fellow? [02:24.08]Never. [02:24.59]Well, why can't a woman be like us? [02:27.40]Mrs. Pearce, you're a woman... [02:36.35]Why can't a woman be more like a man? [02:40.21]Men are so decent, such regular chaps. [02:43.40]Ready to help you through any mishaps. [02:46.08]Ready to buck you up whenever you are glum. [02:49.84]Why can't a woman be a chum? [02:53.86]Why is thinking something women never do? [02:56.81]Why is logic never even tried? [03:00.44]Straight'ning up their hair is all they ever do. [03:03.61]Why don't they straighten up the mess that's inside? [03:07.11]Why can't a woman behave like a man? [03:10.23]If I was a woman who'd been to a ball, [03:13.55]Been hailed as a princess by one and by all; [03:16.74]Would I start weeping like a bathtub overflowing? [03:20.17]And carry on as if in my a home were tree? [03:23.02]Would I run off and never tell me where I'm going? [03:25.45] [03:26.84]Why can't a woman be like me?
