How Lovely to Be a Woman

"How Lovely to Be a Woman" was performed in the first act of the musical Bye Birdie, as teenage Kim McAfee expresses the joys of entering her physical and secual maturity as a woman.

Earl Sinclair sings a rather ironic version of it, as mandated by B.P. Richfield in "And the Winner Is...," to announce his candidacy for Chief Elder. The Sinclair family is aghast, but Earl defensively points out that the part was written for a mezzo-soprano.
