Testo There Is Nothin' Like a Dame - Rodgers & Hammerstein

Testo della canzone There Is Nothin' Like a Dame (Rodgers & Hammerstein), tratta dall'album South Pacific (Original Soundtrack)

We've got sunlight on the sand

We've got moonlight on the sea

We've got mangoes and bananas we can pick right off a tree

We've got volleyball and ping-pong and a lot of dandy games

What ain't we got?

We ain't got dames!

We get packages from home

We get movies, we get shows

We get speeches from our skipper

And advice from Tokyo Rose

We get letters doused with perfume,

We get dizzy from the smell

What don't we get?

You know damn well

We've got nothing to put on a clean white suit for

What we need is what there ain't no substitute for

There is nothing like a dame

Nothing in the world

There is nothing you can name

That is anything like a dame

We feel restless, we feel blue

We feel lonely and in brief

We feel every kind of feeling

But the feeling of relief

We feel hungry as the wolf felt when he met Red Riding Hood

What don't we feel?

We don't feel good

Lots of things in life are beautiful but, brother

There is one particular thing that is nothing whatsoever

In any way, shape, or form like any other

There is nothing like a dame

Nothing in the world

There is nothing you can name

That is anything like a dame

Nothing else is built the same

Nothing in the world...

Has a soft and wavy frame

Like the silhouette of a dame

There is absolutely nothing like the frame

Of a dame

So supposed a dame ain't bright

Or completely free from flaws

Or as faithful as a bird-dog

Or as kind as Santa Claus

It's a waste of time to worry over things that they have not

Be thankful for

The things they've got

There is nothing that you can name

That is anything like a dame

There are no books like a dame

And nothing looks like a dame

There are no drinks like a dame

And nothing thinks like a dame

Nothing acts like a dame

Or attracts like a dame

There ain't a thing that's wrong with any man here

That can't be cured by putting him near

A girly, womanly, female, feminine dame
