Oscar Hammerstein II - Song of the King lyrics

[King:] A woman is a female who is human Designed for pleasing man, the human male A human male is pleased by many women And all the rest you hear is fairy tale [Anna:] Then tell me how this fairy tale began, sir You cannot call it just a poet's trick Explain to me why many men are faithful And true to one wife only [King:] [Speaks] They are sick! [Sings] A girl must be like a blossom With honey for just one man A man must be like honey bee And gather all he can To fly from blossom to blossom A honey bee must be free But blossom must not ever fly From bee to bee to bee [Anna:] H your Majesty, in my country we have a far off different attitude We believe that for a man to be truly happy He must love one woman and one woman [King:] This idea was invented by a woman! [Anna:] Oh but it's a beautiful idea And in England we are brought up with it And by the time a young girl goes to her first dance [King:] Young girl? They dance also like I see tonight In arms of men not her husband? [Anna:] Well, of course! [King:] I will not permit!
