Stonecutters Cut It On Wood
From the Broadway show Carousel
Music by Richard Rodgers
Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
I never see it yet to fail, I never see it fail
A girl who's in love with a virtuous man is doomed to weep and wail
CHORUS
Stonecutters cut it on stone
Woodpeckers peck it on wood
There's nothin' so bad for a woman as a man who thinks he's good
My mother used to say to me When you grow up, my son,
I hope you're a bum like your father was
'cause a good man ain't no fun
CHORUS
Stonecutters cut it on stone
Woodpeckers peck it on wood
There's nothin' so bad for a woman as a man who thinks he's good
Tain't so!, 'tis, too!
Tain't so!, 'tis, too!
I never see it yet to fail, I never see it fail
A girl who's in love with any man
Is doomed to weep and wail
The clock just ticks your life away, there's no relief in sight
It's cook and it's scrub and it's sewin' all day and not much sleep that night
CHORUS
Stonecutters cut it on stone
Woodpeckers peck it on wood
There's nothin' so bad for a woman as a man whose bad OR good
