Paroles : Shall I Tell You What I Think?
Your servant! Your servant!
Indeed I'm not you servant—
Although you give me less than servant's pay—
I'm a free and independent employée... Employee
Because I'm a woman
You think, like every woman
I have to be a slave or concubine
You conceited, self-indulgent libertine!
(spoken)
Libertine
(sung)
How I wish I called him that!
Right to his face! Libertine!
And while we're on the subject, sire
There arе certain goings on around this place
That I wish to tell you I do not admirе:
I do not like polygamy
Or even moderate bigamy
—I realize
That in your eyes
That clearly makes a prig o' me—
But I am from a civilized land called Wales
Where men like you are locked in county jails!
In your pursuit of pleasure, you
Have mistresses who treasure you
Indeed I'm not you servant—
Although you give me less than servant's pay—
I'm a free and independent employée... Employee
Because I'm a woman
You think, like every woman
I have to be a slave or concubine
You conceited, self-indulgent libertine!
