[ Featuring
José Ferrer ]
Oh woman, oh woman, oh what can she be
Whatever she is, she's necessary
A woman is something both evil and good
But too complicated to be understood
An angel when lovin', a devil when mad
A woman can make you both happy and sad
Uh-huh (Um-hum)
Uh-huh (Um-hum)
Uh-huh (Um-hum)
Uh-huh (Um-hum)
Oh woman, oh woman, oh what can she be
Whatever she is, she's necessary
Afraid of a cricket, she'll scream at a mouse
But she'll tackle a husband as big as a house
She'll take him for better, she'll take him for worse
She'll bust his head open and then be his nurse
Uh-huh (Um-hum)
Uh-huh (Um-hum)
Uh-huh (Um-hum)
Uh-huh (Um-hum)
Oh woman, oh woman, oh what can she be
Whatever she is, she's necessary
She's bashful, deceitful, keen sighted and blind
Simple and crafty, and cruel and kind
In the morning she does, in the evening she don't
You're always a thinkin' she will, but she won't
Uh-huh (Um-hum)
Uh-huh (Um-hum)
Uh-huh (Um-hum)
Uh-huh (Ha-ha-ha)
Oh woman, oh woman, oh what can she be
Whatever she is, she's necessary
Girls, turn this record over and listen to the Wife's side!
