Leonard Bernstein
We Are Women (Polka)
[CUNEGONDE & OLD LADY]
We are women! We are women!
We are women, little women
Little, little women are we!
[OLD LADY]
Not a man ever born ever could resist
A well-turned calf, a slender wrist
A silhouette as airy as the morning mist
And a dainty dimpled knee
[CUNEGONDE]
Every male I may meet must acclaim for weeks
My twinkling thighs, my flaxen cheeks
My memorable mammaries like Alpine peaks
High above a wine-dark sea
[OLD LADY & CUNEGONDE]
We've necks like swans, and oh, such sexly legs
We're so light-footed we could dance on eggs
A pair of nymphs from fairyland
And every day in every way our charms expand!
[CUNEGONDE]
You may add
[OLD LADY]
If you wish
[CUNEGONDE]
To that growing list
[OLD LADY]
A mouth so fair
[CUNEGONDE]
It must be kissed
[CUNEGONDE & OLD LADY]
And parts we cannot mention but we know exist
In a rich abundancy
Not a man ever born ever could resist
A pretty little thing like me!

Every male I may meet must acclaim for weeks
My twinkling thighs, my flaxen cheeks
My memorable mammaries like Alpine peaks
High above a wine-dark sea
[OLD LADY]
We've Giotto hands
[CUNEGONDE]
We've Giotto hands
[OLD LADY]
Da Vinci smiles
[CUNDEGONDE]
And Mona Lisa smiles
[CUNEGONDE & OLD LADY]
We are brava divina to balletophiles
A pair of nymphs from fairyland
And every day in every way our charms expand!

We are women! We are women!
We are women, we are little, little women
Little, little, little women are we!
