just leave everything to me - barbra streisand lyrics

1.prologue – call on dolly
orchestra
[instrumental]

chorus:
call on dolly!
if your neighbour needs a new romance
just name that kind of man your sister wants
and she’ll sn-tch them up
don’t forget to bring your maiden aunts and
she’ll match ‘em up.
call on

dolly:
missus dolly!

chorus:
she’s the one the spinsters recomend
she even find a lovely bride

call on dolly!
(fade out)

dolly:
i have always been a woman who arranges things,
for the pleasure–and the profit–it derives.
i have always been a woman who arranges things,
like furniture and daffodils and lives.

if you want your sister courted, brother wed, or cheese imported:
just leave everything to me.
if you want your roof inspected, eyebrows tweezed, or bills collected:
just leave everything to me.
if you want your daughter dated, or some marriage consummated,
for a rather modest fee.
if you want a husband spotted, boyfriend traced, or chicken potted:
i’ll arrange for making all arrangements
just leave everything to me.

if you want your ego bolstered, muscles toned, or chair upholstered:
just leave everything to me.
charming social introductions, expert mandolin instructions:
just leave everything to me.
if you want your culture rounded, french improved, or torso pounded:
with a ten year guarantee.
if you want a birth recorded, collies bred, or kittens ported:
i’ll proceed to plan the whole procedure
just leave everything to me.

(mr. sullivan: where to, dolly?
dolly: yonkers, new york, to handle a highly personal matter for
mr. horace vandergelder, the well-known, unmarried, half-a-millionaire.
mr. sullivan: gonna marry him yourself, dolly?
dolly: why, mr. sullivan, whatever put such a preposterous idea into my head–your head!)

if you want a law abolished, jury swayed, or toenails polished:
just leave everything to me.
if you want your liver tested, gl-sses made, cash invested:
just leave everything to me.
if you want your children coddled, corsets pulled, or furs remodeled,
or some nice, fresh fric-ssee.
if you want your bustle shifted, wedding planned, or bosom lifted–
don’t be ashamed girls,
life is full of secrets, and i keep ’em!

i’ll discretely use my own discretion
i’ll arrange for making all arrangements
i’ll proceed to plan the whole procedure
just leave everything to me!
