[DUCHESS OF FLORENCE]
I am not like Circe
Who showed men no mercy
Men are most important in my life
Venus, Cleo, Psyche
Are melodies in my key
They knew how to live the high life
Gallantry I find archaic
Poetry I find prosaic
Give me the man who's strong and silent
Inarticulate but violent

Sing me not a ballad
Send me not a sonnet
I require no ballad
Rhyme and time are wasted on it
Save your books and flowers
They're not necessaries
Oh the precious hours
Lost in grim preliminaries
Deck me not in jewels
Sigh me not your sighs
Duel me no duels
And please don't vocalize
Romance me no romances
Treasure not my glove
Spare me your advances
Just, oh just, make love
Spare me your advances
Just, oh just, make love
Save your books and flowers
They're not necessaries
Oh the precious hours
Lost in grim preliminaries
Deck me not in jewels
Sigh me not your sighs
Duel me no duels
And please don't vocalize
Romance me no romances
Treasure not my glove
Spare me your advances
Just, oh just, make love
Spare me your advances
Just, oh just, make love
