Women are irrational, that's all there is to that!
There heads are full of cotton, hay, and rags!
They're nothing but exasperating, irritating,
vacillating, calculating, agitating,
Maddening and infuriating hags!

Why can't a woman be more like a man?
Men are so honest, so thoroughly square;
Eternally noble, historic'ly fair;
Who, when you win, will always give your back a pat.
Well, why can't a woman be like that?
Why does ev'ryone do what the others do?
Can't a woman learn to use her head?
Why do they do ev'rything their mothers do?
Why don't they grow up- well, like their father instead?
Why can't a woman take after a man?
Men are so pleasant, so easy to please;
Whenever you are with them, you're always at ease.
Would you be slighted if I didn't speak for hours?
Of course not!
Would you be livid if I had a drink or two?
Nonsense.
Would you be wounded if I never sent you flowers?
Never.
Well, why can't a woman be like you?

One man in a million may shout a bit.
Now and then there's one with slight defects;
One, perhaps, whose truthfulness you doubt a bit.
But by and large we are a marvelous sex!
Why can't a woman take after like a man?
Cause men are so friendly, good natured and kind.
A better companion you never will find.
If I were hours late for dinner, would you bellow?
Of course not!
If I forgot your silly birthday, would you fuss?
Nonsense.
Would you complain if I took out another fellow?
Never.
Well, why can't a woman be like us?

Mrs. Pearce, you're a woman...
Why can't a woman be more like a man?
Men are so decent, such regular chaps.
Ready to help you through any mishaps.
Ready to buck you up whenever you are glum.
Why can't a woman be a chum?
Why is thinking something women never do?
Why is logic never even tried?
Straight'ning up their hair is all they ever do.
Why don't they straighten up the mess that's inside?
Why can't a woman behave like a man?

If I was a woman who'd been to a ball,
Been hailed as a princess by one and by all;
Would I start weeping like a bathtub overflowing?
And carry on as if my home were in a tree?
Would I run off and never tell me where I'm going?
Why can't a woman be like me?

Should this be in the "Posers and Puzzles" forum?
Either way I can't guess the song or the poet.

Just you wait 'enry 'iggins, just you wait!
You'll be sorry, but your tears'll be too late!
You'll be broke and I'll have money;
Will I help you? Don't be funny!
Just you wait, 'enry 'iggins, just you wait!

Just you wait 'enry 'iggins, till you're sick,
And you scream to fetch a doctor double quick!
I'll be off a second later,
And go straight to the theatre!
Oh, ho ho, 'enry 'iggins, just you wait!

Oooooh, 'enry 'iggins!
Just you wait until we're swimmin' in the sea!
Oooooh, 'enry 'iggins!
And you get a cramp a little ways from me!

When you yell you're gonna drown,
I'll get dressed and go to town!
Oh, ho ho, 'enry 'iggins,
Oh, ho ho, 'enry 'iggins, just you wait!

One day I'll be famous!
I'll be proper and prim!
Go to Saint James so often I will call it Saint Jim.
One evening the King will say,
"Oh Liza, old thing,
I want all of England your praises to sing.
Next week, on the twentieth of May,
I proclaim Liza Doolittle Day!
All the people will celebrate the glory of you,
And whatever you wish and want
I gladly will do."

"Thanks a lot, King," says I, in a manner wellbred;
"But all I want is 'enry 'iggins 'ead!"

"Done," says the King, "with a stroke.
Guard, run and bring in the bloke!"
Then they'll march you, 'enry 'iggins, to the wall;
And the king will tell me:
"Liza, sound the call."

As they raise their rifles higher,
I'll shout: "Ready! Aim! Fire!"
Oh, ho ho, 'enry 'iggins,
Down you go! 'enry 'iggins! just you wait!

Presumably you are a man. Are you in a relatioship with someone just like you, or are you homosexual?

I have nothing against homosexuality, it's personal choice of tasteπŸ˜‰

i once put on a version of 'my fair lady' set in a law firm. strange but true (and, i suppose, not particularly interesting unless you were there). it was a good production, though.

also, i remember when mrs thatcher was prime minister, some satirical show on tv doing a version: "why can't a woman be less like a man".

A women cannot love her penis like God blessed man. The problem sometimes grows into a huge monster called jelousy. I think you will find in the future that women who get jealous will be required by law to get a penis.

Some of these problems in life take a while to fix, but we should get there one day. Basicly we just have to try a little harder and put our best foot forward πŸ™‚.
if I know God, she will never let that happen! πŸ˜΅πŸ™„
