Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:



JAKE
Ascolta cosa ti dice papà :
la donna ti può generare, amare e piangere per te,
ma su una donna non puoi contare.

MINGO
Oh, su una donna non puoi contare.

JAKE
La mamma è la prima a dire il tuo nome,
poi dipenderai da lei ,
quindi ti farà  vergognare e ti biasimerà  finché la tua
donna non verrà  a reclamarti,
perchè su una donna non puoi contare.

SPORTING LIFE
Oh, su una donna non puoi contare.

JAKE
Non farti mai tormentare da una donna
perchè lei mira a metterti l'anello.
Lei ti amerà  e ti tradirà , ti ridurrà  in miseria e ti lascierà 
perché su una donna non puoi contare.

TUTTI
Sì, perchè su una donna non puoi contare.
