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.
