It Takes a Woman

It Takes a Woman - Frankie Vaughan

It takes a woman all powdered and pink

To joyously clean out the drain in the sink

And it takes an angel with long golden lashes

And soft dresden fingers

For dumping the ashes

Yes it takes a woman

A dainty woman

A sweetheart a mistress a wife

Oh yes it takes a woman

A fragile woman

To bring you the sweet things in life

The frail young maiden who's constantly there

For washing and blueing and shoeing the mare

And it takes a female for setting the table

And weaning the guernsey

And cleaning the stable

Yes it takes a woman

A dainty woman

A sweetheart a mistress a wife

Oh yes it takes a woman

A fragile woman

To bring you the sweet things in life

And so she'll work until infinity

Three cheers for femininity

And in the winter she'll shovel the ice

And quickly set out the traps for the mice

She's a joy and treasure for practically speaking

From whom you can turn when the plumbing is leaking

To that dainty woman

That fragile woman

That sweetheart that mistress that wife

Oh yes it takes a woman

A husky woman

To bring you the sweet things in life
