ELOISE
I guess I have to be a lady
Smiling and waving
Constantly obeying
I guess I need a prince
To come and save me
Even if I don’t need saving
I guess I must sit on a throne I don’t own
Raising the babies we made all alone
I guess as a lady there’s just some things I’ll never know
But if I were a man
I’d go to Japan
Maybe swim in the
Seine
And learn to speak French
I’d have the whole world in the palm of my hand
I’d finally do what I could but I can’t
If I were a man
PENELOPE FEATHERINGTON - spoken
Eloise I must tell you something
ELOISE - spoken
Tell mе
PENELOPE - spoken
I've come to know of a woman who is with child
ELOISE - spoken
Is it a lady or a maid?
PENELOPE - spoken
It's a maid
ELOISE - spoken
I didn't know one of your maids wеre married?
PENELOPE - spoken
She's not married
ELOISE - spoken
What?
How can a woman come to be with child if she's not married?
PENELOPE - spoken
Well I don't know
ELOISE - spoken
Well, you need to find out!
PENELOPE - spoken
Why?
ELOISE - spoken
So it doesn't happen to us!
sung
I guess I have to go to banquets
Banquets make me anxious
Acting rather shameless
I guess I need a gown
Down past my ankles
Doing up my hair in tangles
I guess must
"Sit still and look pretty!
Dance 'til I'm proper dizzy!"
Throw away the life
That I've been missing
But if I were a man
I'd summer in Canne
Maybe play in the sand
And wear my own pants
I'd have the whole world in the palm of my hand
I'd finally fly far away from the
nest
If I were a man!
There'll be no ladies and lords
Only a world to explore
And I don’t care if it’s all just a bore
No extravagant balls! Or gentlemen calls!
And I don't give a rat if he's handsome and tall
I don't want to settle and squak
I'll never leave the nest for a delicate flop
Oh!
What if I, what if I want
To fly
'Cause if I were a man
I'd go to Japan
Maybe swim in the Seine
And learn to speak French
I'd have the whole world in the
palm of my hand
And finally do, what I could, but I can't
If I were a man
If I were a man
I'd have the whole world in the palm of my hand
And finally do, what I could, but I can't
If I were a man

I guess I have to be a lady
Smiling and waving
Constantly obeying
I guess I need a prince
To come and save me
Even if I don’t need saving
Guess I must sit on a throne I don’t own
Raising the babies we made all alone
I guess as a lady there’s just some
things I’ll never know…
But if I were a man
I’d go to Japan
Maybe swim in the Seine
And learn to speak French
I’d have the whole world in the palm of my hand
I’d finally do what I could but I can’t
If I were a man
