How to Handle a Woman Songtext
von Andrew Burnap

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
Oh yes
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"
