How Many Women In The World? Lyrics
Burrs
(alone)
How many women in the world’
How many women’ Take your pick.
So how come I hook into that one’
She knows my every trick. Yeah
She knows what makes me tick, tick, tick ‘
Too late now the damage is done:
How many women in the world
Know how to push that magic button ‘ boom.
How many many many many many
many many women
one.
How many women on the earth
How many women could I bear’
How come I put up with that one
Who’s tangled in my hair’
She’s got in me everywhere ‘
In my skin
In my blood
All I hear and see ‘
How many women on the earth
Ger in so deep they kill my sleep ‘
How many many many many many many many
Women’
She’
What other women can take the punches’ Pow!
What other woman would like the punches’ Pow!
Pow! Pow!
What other woman would look at me and say:
‘Okay. It’ll do.’
‘Okay. It’ll do.’
‘Okay. It’ll do.’ - ‘Okay. It’ll do.’ ‘
(launching in to his act)
‘Marie is tricky
Sly and sticky
Brudda, you watch out for dat gal:
She gwina lub-ya like dere’s no tomorr-ah
But come tomorr-ah ya gots plenty of sarr-ah..’
Okay. It’ll do’
Okay. It’ll do’
How many women in the world’
How many women can I take’
How much more of that one
Can I take before I break
But I’m not gonna break
‘Cause when I break
Nasty things occur’
How many women in the world
Make me weak ‘
Break me down ‘
Chew me up. Spit me out
Make me yowwwwwwl!
How many many many many many many many
Women’
(Burrs crosses to his theatrical trunk and
Slowly begins to put on blackface makeup.)
Her.
Her.
Her.
(Dolores is seen, wandering around the
Party, the darkened room now lit by only
A few remaining candles)
