- YOU ARE WOMAN, I AM A MAN
NICK
You are woman, I am man
You are smaller, so I can be taller than,
You are softer to the touch,
It's a feeling I like feeling very much.
You are someone I've admired,
Still, our friendship
Leaves something to be desired.
Does it take more explanation than this?
You are woman, I am man--

Furnishing a bed in restaurants?
Well, a bit of dinner never hurt,
But guess who is gonna be dessert?

FANNY BRICE
I drink it all day!
Should I do the things he'll tell me to?

In my soul I feel an inner lack,
Just suppose he wants his dinner back?
Just some dried-out toast in a sliver
On the top a...a little chopped liver.
How many girls become a sinner
While waiting for a roast beef dinner?
Though most girls slip in ordinary ways
I got style--I do it bordelaise.
Well at least you think I'm special--
You ordered à la carte.
It's a feeling, I like feeling very...
I feel the feeling down to my toes
Now I feel that there's a fire here,
Try that once a little higher, dear,
What a beast to ruin such a pearl!
Would a convent take a Jewish girl?

FANNY BRICE
Ooo the thrills and chills going through me
If I stop him now,
Can he sue me
NICK
You are woman.
FANNY BRICE
You are man.
