Текст песни: Oh, Dear, What Can the Matter Be (feat. Jen Allen-Zito & Tracy Spring) + перевод

Oh, dear, what can the matter be? Dear, dear, what can the matter be?

Oh, dear, what can the matter be? Women are wanting to vote

VERSE:

Women have husbands, they are protected, Women have sons by

whom they’re directed

Women have fathers — they’re not neglected, Why are they

wanting to vote?

ALTERNATE VERSE: (Sung by soloist)

What does it matter? They keep going on,

I’m tired of hearing those stupid, old songs

That’s now ancient history, That battles been won,

we’ve got troubles enough, It is time to move on CHO

Women can dress, they love society, women have cash, with its variety

Women can pray, with sweetest piety, why are they wanting to vote?

They’re stuck in the past, we have privileges now

We are free to own property, we don’t scrape and bow

We’re no longer taxed without representation

And we’ve stopped all the drunkards from ruining the nation CHO

Women have homes, there they should labor, women have children, whom they

should favor

Women have time to learn of each neighbor, Why are they wanting to vote?

My fiancé has said he’ll allow me to vote,

Just so I remember who captains our boat

As long as the supper and laundry are done,

And I’m properly raising our dear little ones CHO

Women have raised all the sons of the brave, women have shared in the burdens

they gave,

Women have labored, your country to save-that's why we’re wanting to vote!
