What Can You Do With a Man? Lyrics by Debbie Gravitte, Michael McGrath

The Boys from Syracuse (1997 Original New York Recording)

0

[LUCE]
Listen to your lady who speaks
This affair has run its course
I'll reside in Athens six weeks
While I get me a divorce!
[DROMIO OF EPHESUS]
Listen to your lover who asks
Why this battle has begun
[LUCE]
He has long neglected some tasks
That her husband should have done
He eats me out of house and home
But doesn't like my cooking
That's nothing new with a man
What can you do with a man?
He likes to use my brush and comb
And yet he's funny looking
Home's like a zoo with a man
What can you do with a man?
Some men wear half pajamas
I took a chance
I bought the guy pajamas
He wears the pants!
By day he's like a five-year old
At night he's ninety-seven
What can you do with a man like that?
[DROMIO OF EPHESUS]
When you get mad don't count to ten
Go on and count a million
Don't be a shrew with a man
That's what you do with a man
You need a regiment of men
I'm only one civilian
Wait for your cue with a man
That's what you do with a man
Marriage is such a blessing
So I have found
I've got a thousand blessings
Each weighs a pound
I'm only four foot ten right now
I once was five foot seven
That's what you did to a man like that!
[LUCE]
I wear my nicest negligee
And find him reading Plato
Nothing is new with a man
What can you do with a man?
I shook the tree of life one day
And got a cold potato
I'm in a stew with a man
What can you do with a man?
Where is his sense of duty?
Where is his taste?
Acres and acres of beauty
Going to waste!
He walks me in the woods at night
To find a four-leaf clover
What can you do with a man like that?
