Lyrics

I want men that I can please
That I can squeeze, that I can tease
Two or three or four or more
What are those fools waiting for?
I want love and I want kissing
I want more of what I'm missing
Nobody comes knocking at my front door
What do they think my knocker's for?
If they don't come soon, there won't be any more!
What can the matter be?
I wash my clothes with Lux, my etiquette's the best
I spend my hard-earned bucks, on just what the ads suggest
Oh dear, what can the matter be?
Nobody makes a pass at me
I'm full of Kellogg's Bran, I eat grape nuts on the sly
The date is on the can of coffee that I buy
Oh dear, what can the matter be?
Nobody makes a pass at me!
Oh, Beatrice Fair-fax, give me the bare facts
How do you make them fall?
If you don't save me, the things the Lord gave me
Never will be any use to me at all
I sprinkle on a dash, of "Fragrance de Amour"
The ads say, "Makes Men Rash"
But I guess their smell is poor
Oh dear, what can the matter be?
Nobody makes a pass at me
I use Ovaltine and Listerine, Barbasol and Musterole
Life Buoy soap and Flit, so why ain't I got it?
I use Coca Cola and Marmola
Crisco, Lesco, and Mazola
Ex-lax and Vapex
So why ain't I got sex?
I use Albolene and Maybellene
Alka Seltzer, Bromo Seltzer
Odorono and Sensation
So why ain't I got fascination?
My girdles come from the best
Times ads say they're chick
And up above I'm dressed
In the brassier of the week
Oh, oh dear, what can the matter be?
Nobody makes a pass at me
I use Pond's on my skin
With rye-crisp I have thinned
I get my culture in, I began
Gone with the wind
Oh dear, what can the matter be?
Nobody makes a pass at me
Oh Dor'thy Dix, please, show me some tricks
Please, I want some men to hold
I want attention and things I can't mention
And I want them all before I get too old
I use Mum ev'ry day and Angelus Liplure
But still men stay away
Just like I result of 99 and 44
100 percent P.O
What can the matter be?
Nobody makes a pass at me
I don't know, oh, dear

"Her name is Barbra Streisand. She is 20 years old, she has a three-octave promiscuity of range, she packs more personal dynamic power than anybody I can recall since Libby Holman or Helen Morgan. She can sing as loud as Ethel Merman and as persuasively as Lena or Ella, or as brassy as a Sophie Tucker ... and only Barbra Streisand can turn 'Cry Me a River' into something comparable to Enrico Caruso having his first bash at Pagliacci. When Streisand cries you a river, you got a river, Sam ... and she will be around 50 years from now if good songs are still written to be sung by good singers." — Syndicated columnist Robert Ruark, on her 1963 performances at the Blue Angel.
