Find Yourself A Man lyrics

Time has passed. fanny has given birth to a daughter, frances, who is now
Five months old, and fanny is going back into the new ziegfeld show. eddie
And mrs. strakosh suggest that fanny’s mother needs a new interest in life.

Eddie and mrs. strakosh:
Find yourself a man--
Mrs. brice:
You’re demented.
Eddie and mrs. strakosh:
Find yourself a man--
Mrs. brice:
That’s just what I need.
Eddie:
You’ll see what a difference it makes ev’ry day.
Mrs. brice:
Send me a letter,
You’ll write me a resumé
Mrs. strakosh:
Just take me and dave--
Mrs. brice:
Romeo and juliet--
Eddie:
Dave is still her slave.
Mrs. brice:
Send the slave my regards!
Eddie and mrs. strakosh:
Open your heart and from out of the skies
A prince on a horse will materialize.
Mrs. brice:
Boy, is some lucky prince
Gonna get a surprise!
All:
Find a man!
Eddie and mrs. strakosh:
Find yourself a man,
Mrs. strakosh:
I repeat it, rose.
Mrs. brice:
Find myself a man.
Eddie:
You’re defeated, rose.
Mrs. brice:
I’ll hang a sign out,
Big letters that high,
Come in and sample
You don’t have to buy.
Eddie:
Hear a voice talk back.
Mrs. brice:
I hear voices now.
Mrs. strakosh:
Money you don’t lack--
Mrs. brice:
Why, you’ve been countin’?
Just what I need is a middle-aged sheik
Whose uppers and lowers
Will click when he’ll speak,
And life is a song ’cause he’ll click and I’ll creak.
All:
Find a man.
Eddie and mrs. strakosh:
The man that you select--
Mrs. brice:
What about him?
Eddie and mrs. strakosh:
Must treat you with respect.
Mrs. brice:
That’s important.
Eddie:
He must understand there
Are rules to obey,
Not toy with your morals
And lead you astray.
Mrs. brice:
Please, darling, let the man do things his way.
Mrs. strakosh and eddie:
Find a man--
Mrs. brice:
I’m a grandmother!
Mrs. strakosh:
Find a man--
Mrs. brice:
You got somebody in mind?
All:
Find yourself
A man.
