[Original Broadway Cast of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Joanna Gleason - What Was A Woman To Do lyrics]
Last night I met a man beneath
A pale and haunted moon
A man no woman could refuse
Bold and assertive with a
Furtive air of mystery
Magically long of lash
Tragically short of cash
As he approached he wore an aura of nobility
I wore these Ferragamo shoes
This was, at last, I knew
My rendezvous with history what was a woman
What was a woman to do?
And when he smiled he lit the
Night with grace and confidence
His teeth were clean and straight and
White just like a picket fence
I couldn't look directly at them
They were that intense what was a woman
What was a woman to do?
I never realized how long my
Heart had been ignored
He sang my name and it rang
Out just like some major chord!
If music be the food of love
He ate my smorgasbord what was a woman
What was a woman
What was a woman to do?
Last night I met a prince and
Suddenly my life has changed
I have a purpose and a cause
He's off rebelling
And I'm kvelling here, but nevermind
So goddamn continental
Who'd guess that I would be the only
One to whom he'd turn
This man of brio and panache!
He gave me romance and the feeling
I was young again
Last week I met a prince and ahh
He's just so oooh!
And I'm the only one this man of brio
And panache!
A check made out to cash
I have a purpose and a cause:
To help my dreamy royal boyfriend!
So suave it makes you mental!
And I'm the only one
This man of brio and panache!
I gave him hope and strength and
A check made out to cash
He had the most amazing eyes
That I had ever seen
He came in with a ticket
For the second mezzanine!
I ripped it up and put him
Right down there in J-13!
Miss, if you don't mind?
What was a woman
What was a woman
What was a woman to do?
A pale and haunted moon
A man no woman could refuse
Bold and assertive with a
Furtive air of mystery
Magically long of lash
Tragically short of cash
As he approached he wore an aura of nobility
I wore these Ferragamo shoes
This was, at last, I knew
My rendezvous with history what was a woman
What was a woman to do?
And when he smiled he lit the
Night with grace and confidence
His teeth were clean and straight and
White just like a picket fence
I couldn't look directly at them
They were that intense what was a woman
What was a woman to do?
I never realized how long my
Heart had been ignored
He sang my name and it rang
Out just like some major chord!
If music be the food of love
He ate my smorgasbord what was a woman
What was a woman
What was a woman to do?
Last night I met a prince and

What was a woman
