lirik lagu carol brice & odette myril - gettin' a man

[kakou]
gettin’ a man and gettin’ a husband
is two diff’rent things
except for the lace on your corset
they don’t wanna have any strings

[belle]
getting a man and getting a husband
is hard, goodness no
they listen to any proposal
as long as they needn’t propose

[kakou]
with eager stares they buy your wares
as samples you unpack

[belle]
they’ll even pay provided they
can then send the merchandise back

[kakou]
so keep him in doubt until he’s committed

[belle]
to all marriage brings
[kakou]
‘cos gettin’ a man to kiss you with feelin’

[belle]
and getting a man who’s actually kneeling

[kakou & belle]
i tell you are two quite a bit opposite things

[belle]
getting a man and getting a husband
demands some… er, finesse

[kakou]
it’s somethin’ like catchin’ a crim’nal
and making that crim’nal confess

gettin’ a mate and gettin’ a helpmaid
is just like i said

[belle]
they don’t like to rush into marriage
the way that they rush into bed

[kakou]
their attitude while often rude
is best described as slow
[belle]
they understand the promised land
but buying the property — no!

[kakou]
the minute you point

[kakou & belle]
a man at the alter
is when love takes wings

[kakou]
‘cos gettin’ a man who wants to be lovey

[belle]
and getting a man who’ll answer to “hubby,”

[kakou & belle]
i tell you are two totally different things
