No Wonder (Part Two)

Barbra Streisand

    Continues after the ad

    [-- It's a little chilly in here]
    [-- I thought it was rather warm myself]
    [-- Yes, it is warm for this time of year]

    No wonder she suits him
    She never disputes him
    [-- Last year was also warm]
    The conversation
    Is not too exciting
    But oh
    What a change it must be!
    To spend an evening
    Where there's no conversation
    Must be a relief after me!
    [-- I'll get dessert]
    And though there's nothing much
    To challenge your mind here
    Who cares
    When the food's so delicious?
    Not to mention
    These beautiful dishes
    A matched set
    From France yet!

    Continues after the ad

    [-- You look pensive]
    [-- No, I was just thinking]
    [-- About me?]
    [-- As a matter of fact, I was]
    [-- Good thoughts?]
    [-- Something smells good. What is it?]
    [-- It must the cinnamon in the baked apples]
    [-- Oh! You bake apples too!]

    No wonder he loves her
    No wonder to me
    [-- A cushion?]
    [-- Why not?}
    With ribbons and laces
    In all the right places
    [-- Milk or lemon?]
    [-- Yes, please!]
    I must admit
    It's all very pleasant
    And this is a comf'table room
    [-- Which?]
    [-- Which what?]
    And if he likes
    The smell of lilacs and roses
    Then maybe
    He likes her perfume
    [-- Lemon or milk?]
    And though her silky hair
    And milky complexion are nice
    Still they're not
    That distracting
    [-- Anshel?!]
    [-- Milky!]
    [-- What??]
    [-- Milk, milk]
    So what accounts
    For the way he's been acting?
    [-- Honey?]
    Her softness?
    [-- No!]
    [-- No honey]
    Her sweetness?
    [-- Sugar]
    How could he resist her
    [-- A cookie?]
    And why would he try?
    [-- How d'ya get them all the same size?]
    No wonder he wants her
    [-- You notice everything]
    He needs her
    [-- The china]
    He loves her
    [-- The cookies]
    No wonder
    [-- That's really wonderful!]
    So would I
    [-- Where are your parents, Haddass?]
    [-- Should they have left this long?]
    [-- They trust you, Anshel!]
    [-- Maybe they shouldn't]
    [-- What?]
    {-- I mean, maybe they'd buy like some tea]
