Original Broadway Cast of Funny Girl
You Are Woman, I Am 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
Let's kiss
[FANNY]
Isn't this the height of nonchalance
Furnishing a bed in restaurants?
Well, a bit of dinner never hurt
But guess who is gonna be dessert?
Do good girls do just what mama says
When mama's not around?
It's a feeling
Oy vey, what a feeling
[NICK, spoken]
A bit of pâté?
[FANNY, spoken]
I drink it all day.
(sung)
Should I do the things he'll tell me to?
In this pickle, what would Nellie do?
In my soul I feel an inner lack
Just suppose he wants his dinner back
[BOTH]
Does it take more explanation than this?
[FANNY]
Just some dried-out toast in a sliver
On the top 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 he thinks I'm special
He 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?
[BOTH]
Does it take more explanation than this?
[FANNY]
Ooh, the thrills and chills going through me
If I stop him now, can he sue me?
[NICK]
You are woman
[FANNY]
You are man
[BOTH]
Let's kiss
