WONDERFUL WOMAN
A woman's the greatest of all contradictions,
She's an Angel in truth, a Demon in fiction;
She's afraid of a cockroach, 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 split his head open, and then be his nurse.
When he is well and gets out of bed,
She'll pick up a tea-pot and throw at his head.
She's faithful, deceitful, keen-sighted and blind;
She's crafty, she's simple, she's rude and she's kind.
She'll lift a man up and throw a man down;
She'll call him her king, and make him her clown.
You think she is this, you think she is that;
She'll play like a kitten, and bite like a cat.
In the morning she does, in the evening she don't;
She says she will, but you know that she won't.
