Sobbin' Women - Howard Keel/Betty Hutton/Red Skelton
Tell you about them sobbing women
Who lived in the Roman days
It seems that they all went swimming
While their man was off to graze
Well a Roman Troop was riding by
And saw them in their me-oh-my
So they took them all back home to dry
Least that's what Plutarch says
Oh yes them a-women was sobbing
Sobbing sobbing fit to be tied
Every muscle was throbbing throbbing
From that riotious ride
Seems they cried and kissed
And kissed and cried
All over that Roman countryside
So don't forget that
When you're taking a bride
Sobbing fit to be tied
From that riotious ride
They never did return their plunder
The victor gets all the loot
They carried them home by thunder
To rotundas small but cute
And you've never seen so they tell me
Such downright domesticity
With a Roman baby on each knee
Named Claudius and Brute
Oh yes them a-women was sobbing
Sobbing sobbing passing them nights
While the Romans was going out
Hobnobbing starting up fights
They kept occupied by sewing lots
Of little old togas for them tots
And saying 'Some day women folks will have rights'
Passing all of their nights
Just sewing
While the Romans had fights
When the men folk went to fetch them
The women would not be fetched
It seems when the Romans catch them
Their lady friends stay catched
Right
Now let this be because it's true
A lesson to the likes of you
Rough them up like them there Romans do
Or else they'll think you're tetched
Oh yes them women were sobbing
Sobbing sobbing buckets of tears
Mighty sad
On account of dobbin dobbin
Really rattled their ears
And that ain't all
Oh they acted angry and annoyed
But secretly they were overjoyed
You might recall that
When corralling your steers
Oh oh oh them poor little dears
Oh yes them a-women was sobbing
Sobbing sobbing weeping a ton
Ah them sobbing women
Just remember what Robin Robin
Robin Hood would have done
Ah them sobbing women
We'll be just like them there merry men
And make them all merry once again
And though they'll be a-sobbing for a while
Oh yes we're gonna make them
Sobbing women smile
