I Put My Hand In
Call on Dolly! She's the one the spinsters recommend Just name that kind of man your sister wants And she'll snatch them up Don't forget to bring your maiden aunts and She'll match 'em up. Call on Dolly! If your eldest daughter needs a friend
Ambrose Kemper: Tell me Mrs. Levi, what's in all this for you?
A living, Mr. Kemper. Some people paint, some sew I meddle!
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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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 there!
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
For when my little pink wiggles Some young maiden gets the giggles Then I make my knuckles active 'My,' he says, 'she's so attractive' Then I move my index digit And they both begin to fidget Then I clench my palm The preacher reads a psalm When I put my hand in there!
