Sobbin' Women

Sobbin' Women - Howard Keel/Doris Day

Lyrics by：Mercer/Paul

Composed by：Gene De Paul

Tell ya 'bout them sobbin' women

Who lived in the Roman days

It seems that they all went swimmin'

While their men was off to graze

Well a Roman troop was ridin' by

And saw them in their me oh my

So they took 'em all back home to dry

Least that's what Plutarch says

Oh yes

Them a woman was sobbin' sobbin' sobbin'

Fit to be tied

Ev'ry muscle was throbbin' throbbin'

From that riotous ride

Seems they cried and kissed and kissed and cried

All over that Roman countryside

So don't forget that when you're takin' a bride

Sobbin' fit to be tied

From that riotous ride

They never did return their plunder

The victor gets all the loot

They carried them home by thunder

To rotundas small but cute

And you've never seens so

They tell me such downright domesticity

With a Roman baby on each knee

Named Claudius and Brute

Oh yes

Them a women was sobbin' sobbin' sobbin' passin' them nights

While the Romans was goin' out hobbin' nobbin'

Startin' up fights

They kept occupied by sewin' lots of little old togas

For them tots and sayin' someday women folk'll have rights

Passin' all o' them nights

Just sewin'

While the Romans had fights

Now when their men folk went to fetch 'em

Them women would not be fetched

It seems when the Romans ketch 'em

Their lady friends stay ketched

Now let this be because it's true

A lesson to the likes of you

Rab a rough like them there Romans do

Or else they'll think you're tetched

Oh yes

Them a women was sobbin' sobbin'

Sobbin' buckets of tears

My sound

On account o' old dobbin'

Dobbin' really rattled their ears

And at a all

Oh they acted angry annoyed

But secretly they was overjoyed

You must recall that when corralin' your streets

Oh oh oh oh them poe little dears

Oh yes

Them a women was sobbin' sobbin' sobbin'

Weepin' a ton then sobbin' women

Just remember what Robin Robin Robin

Hood woulda done them sobbin women

We'll be just like them three merry men

And make 'em all merry once again

And though they'll be a sobbin' for a while

Oh yes

We're gonna make them sobbin' women smile
