Lyrics
[King]
A woman is a female who is human
Designed for pleasing man the human male.
A human male is pleased by many women
And all the rest you hear is fairy tale.
[Anna]
Then tell me how this fairy tale began sir.
You cannot call it just a poet's trick
Explain to me why many men are faithful
And true to one wife only-
[King]
They are sick!
A girl must be like a blossom
With honey for just one man.
A man must be like honey bee
And gather all he can.
To fly from blossom to blossom
A honey bee must be free
But blossom must not ever fly
From bee to bee to bee.
[Anna]
Your Majesty in my country we have a far off different attitude. We believe that for a man to be truly happy he must love one woman and only one woman.
[King]
This idea was invented by a woman!
[Anna]
Oh but it's a beautiful idea. And in England we are brought up with it. And by the time a young girl goes to her first dance-
[King]
Young girl? They dance also like I see tonight - in arms of men not her husband?
[Anna] Well of course!
[King] I will not permit!
