In Praise Of Women
A Little Night Music

She wouldn't therefore they didn't

So then it wasn't, not unless it, would she?

She doesn't, God knows she needn't

Therefore it's not


He'd never therefore they haven't

Which makes the question absolutely, could she?

She daren't therefore I mustn't, what utter rot


Fidelity is more than mere display

It's what a man expects from life

Fidelity like mine to Desiree

And Charlotte, my devoted wife


How was Miss Desiree Armfeldt?

Good health, I trust

Charlotte, my dear, I have exactly five hours

Five hours, this time?


Last time it was four, I'm gaining ground

She had a visitor, a lawyer in a night shirt

Now that I find interesting, what did you do?

Throw him out, in a night shirt? In my night shirt


What sort of a lawyer? Corporation? Marital?

Criminal? Testamentory?

Didn't your sister's little school friend, Anne [Incomprehensible]

Marry a Frederik Egerman? Yes, she did, Frederik Egerman


The papers, he mentioned papers

Some legal papers which I didn't see there

Where were they

The goddamn papers she had to sign?


What nonsense, he brought her papers

They were important so he had to be there

I'll kill him, why should I bother?

The woman's mine


Besides, no matter what one might infer

One must have faith to some degree

The least that I can do is trust in her

The way that Charlotte trusts in me


What are you planning to do today?

After the five hours

Right now, I need a little sleep

Ah, I see, in that case my plans will have to be changed


What will I do? I know, nothing

Why don't you pay a visit to Martha's little school friend?

Aha, she probably has no idea what her husband's up to

And I could enlighten her, I will if I'm back in two hours


That still leaves us three hours, right?

You're a good wife, Charlotte, the best

That's a comforting thought to take with me to town, dear

Just may keep me from cutting my throat on the tram


Capable, pliable women, women

Undemanding and reliable, knowing their place

Insufferable, yes, but gentle

Their weaknesses are incidental

A functional but ornamental race


Durable, sensible women, women

Very nearly indispensable creatures of grace

God knows the foolishness about them

But if one had to live without them

The world would surely be a poorer if purer place


The hip bath, about that hip bath

How can you slip and trip into a hip bath?

The papers, where were the papers?

Of course, he might have taken back the papers


She wouldn't, therefore they didn't

The woman's mine
