We would like to dedicate this number
to all the ladies.
What a man, what a man,
what a man,
That man of mine
If a man could be
Perpetually
What he only is
Occasionally
A man could be
But definitely
A wonderful, wonderful thing
If a man could do continually
What he only does spasmodically
A man could be indubitably
A wonderful, wonderful thing
He's a could -be -good,
he's a could -be -bad,
he's a sometimes -makes
-you -doubt -him
But here's what makes
a woman mad,
she just can't do without him
If a man could do, inspirationally,
what he only does
mechanically, a man could be, that's a dirty laugh,
but definitely a wonderful, wonderful thing.
Seems like we're picking
on the gentleman.
I don't know why.
I know we have our faults too.
I happen to overhear a little conversation
that I'd like to relate to you.
If a gal could be intellectually
what she only is biologically
A gal could be, but definitely,
a wonderful, wonderful thing.
If a gal could do, spontaneously,
what she always does, eventually.
A gal could be, but definitely,
a wonderful, wonderful thing.
She's a could be hot, she's a could be cold,
she's a, oh stop it now
Bruce, you'll spoil my make -up.
But here's what makes
a guy grow cold,
she can spend all the money he can
If a gal could be
What she only is
A gal could be
a wonderful, wonderful thing
A wonderful, wonderful thing
A wonderful,
wonderful thing
Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.
