I Put My Hand In

I Put My Hand In - Bette Midler (貝蒂·米德勒)/Hello, Dolly! Ensemble 2017

Written by：Jerry Herman

I have always been a woman who arranges things

For the pleasure and the profit it derives

I have always been a woman who arranges things

Like furniture and daffodils and lives

When a man with a timid tongue

Meets a girl with a diffident air

Why should the tortured creatures beat around the bush

When heaven knows Mother Nature always needs a little push

So I put my hand in here

I put my hand in there

And a girl over 6 foot 3

Loves a man who comes up to her ear

Surely it's obvious she'll never be seduced

'Til some kind soul condescends

To give her beau a little boost

So I put my hand in there

I put my hand in here

I have always been a woman who arranges things

It's my duty to assist the lord above

I have always been a woman who arranges things

Like luncheon parties poker games and love

My aplomb at cosmetic art

Turned a frump to a trump lady fair

She had a countenance a little bit like scrooge

But oh today you would swear

The lord himself applied the rouge

When I put my hand in here

I put my hand in here

I twist a little stir a little

Him a little her a little

Shape a little mold a little

Some poor chap gets sold a little

When I use my fist a little

Some young bride gets kissed a little

Pressure with the thumbs

Matrimony comes

When I put my hand in there
