Lyrics
You swore that you had taught me everything from A to Z
With nary an omission in between
Well, I will tell you what you obviously forgot
That's how a ruler rules a queen
And what of teaching me by turning me to animal and bird?
From beaver to the smallest bubble-ink?
I should have had a whirl, a changing to a girl
To learn the way the creatures think
But wasn't there a night on a summer long gone by?
We passed a couple wrangling away
And did I not say, "Merlin, what if that chap were I?"
And did he not give counsel and say...
What was it now? My mind's a wall
Oh yes, by Jove, now I recall
How to handle a woman
There's a way, said the wise old man
A way known by every woman
Since the whole rigmarole began
"Do I flatter her?" I begged him answer
"Do I threaten, or cajole, or plead?
Do I brood, or play the gay romancer?"
Said he, smiling, "No, indeed"
How to handle a woman
Mark me well, I will tell you, sir
The way to handle a woman
Is to love her
Simply love her
Merely love her
Love her
Love her
What's wrong, Jenny?
Where are you these days?
What are you thinking?
I don't understand you
But no matter
Merlin told me once
Never be too disturbed if you don't
Understand what a woman is thinking
They don't do it very often
But what do you do while they're doing it?
How to handle a woman
Mark me well, and I'll tell you, sir
The way to handle a woman
Is to love her
Simply love her
Merely love her
Love her
Oh, just love her
