[Lyric] Oral is the Moral (The Merry Wives Of Windsor)

My mouth gets me into every kind of trouble
When a man's involved you can always make that double
Every man I meet with his mouth will try to woo me
No man I have met has a tongue that can subdue me

If things seem dim and your prospects are grim
Never doubt that your mouth can help you out
And if you want to know the point of our show
Oral is the moral

With a jouster I was ever kind of smitten
He tried to woo with letters, but alas he failed the written
I asked him to impress me he said "absolutely ma'am"
I'm very glad to say he passed the oral exam

If things seem dim and your prospects are grim
Never doubt that your mouth can help you out
And if you want to know the point of our show
Oral is the moral

At church I try to keep my naughty mouth at bay
I asked the priest for mercy, surely he can show the way
On my knees attempting to seem holy and devout
I try to suck my pride and only saltiness comes out
If things seem dim and your prospects are grim
Never doubt that your mouth can help you out
And if you want to know the point of our show
Oral is the moral

I have always had a love of the theater
I would give my hand to be a talented orator
I've been taking lessons, the wives they are (?)
We cunningest of linguists will get a standing O

If things seem dim and your prospects are grim
Never doubt that your mouth can help you out
And if you want to know the point of our show
Oral is the moral

Oral, oral, oral
Oral, oral, oral
Oral is the moral
