Find Yourself a Man Lyrics
Barbra Streisand
[Time has passed. Fanny has given birth to a daughter, Frances, who is now five months old, and Fanny is going back into the new Ziegfeld show.
Eddie and Mrs. Strakosh suggest that Fanny's mother needs a new interest in life.]
[Eddie and Mrs. Strakosh:]
Find yourself a man--
[Mrs. Brice:]
You're demented.
[Eddie and Mrs. Strakosh:]
Find yourself a man--
[Mrs. Brice:]
That's just what I need.
[Eddie:]
You'll see what a difference it makes ev'ry day.
[Mrs. Brice:]
Send me a letter,
You'll write me a resume
[Mrs. Strakosh:]
Just take me and Dave--
[Mrs. Brice:]
Romeo and Juliet--
[Eddie:]
Dave is still her slave.
[Mrs. Brice:]
Send the slave my regards!
[Eddie and Mrs. Strakosh:]
Open your heart and from out of the skies
A prince on a horse will materialize.
[Mrs. Brice:]
Boy, is some lucky prince
Gonna get a surprise!
[All:]
Find a man!
[Eddie and Mrs. Strakosh:]
Find yourself a man,
[Mrs. Strakosh:]
I repeat it, Rose.
[Mrs. Brice:]
Find myself a man.
[Eddie:]
You're defeated, Rose.
[Mrs. Brice:]
I'll hang a sign out,
Big letters that high,
Come in and sample
You don't have to buy.
[Eddie:]
Hear a voice talk back.
[Mrs. Brice:]
I hear voices now.
[Mrs. Strakosh:]
Money you don't lack--
[Mrs. Brice:]
Why, you've been countin'?
Just what I need is a middle-aged sheik
Whose uppers and lowers
Will click when he'll speak,
And life is a song 'cause he'll click and I'll creak.
[All:]
Find a man.
[Eddie and Mrs. Strakosh:]
The man that you select--
[Mrs. Brice:]
What about him?
[Eddie and Mrs. Strakosh:]
Must treat you with respect.
[Mrs. Brice:]
That's important.
[Eddie:]
He must understand there
Are rules to obey,
Not toy with your morals
And lead you astray.
[Mrs. Brice:]
Please, darling, let the man do things his way.
Mrs. Strakosh and [Eddie:]
Find a man--
[Mrs. Brice:]
I'm a grandmother!
[Mrs. Strakosh:]
Find a man--
[Mrs. Brice:]
You got somebody in mind?
[All:]
Find yourself
A man.
