(When Hadass's father breaks off her
|
engagement to Avigdor, Yentl is
|
suddenly viewed as prospective
|
bridegroom.)
|
No wonder she suits him,
|
She never disputes him.
|
The conversation's 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
|
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
|
No wonder he loves her,
|
No wonder to me
|
With ribbons and laces
|
In all the right places,
|
I must admit it's all very pleasant
|
And this is a comfortable room
|
And if he likes the smell of lilacs and roses
|
Then maybe he likes her perfume
|
And though her silky hair
|
And milky complexion are nice
|
Still they're not that distracting
|
So what accounts for the way he's been acting?
|
Her softness?
|
Her sweetness?
|
How could he resist her
|
And why would he try?
|
No wonder he wants her,
|
He needs her,
|
He loves her,
|
No wonder...
|
So would I!
