MY LORD AND MASTER
(Richard Rodgers (m) / Oscar Hammerstein II (l) 1951)

Barbra Streisand 1964

From the March 1951 Broadway musical ‘The King and I’
Sung in the production by the concubine, Tuptim.
(Leads: Doretta Morrow in the 1951 Broadway production and Reno Moreno in the
1956 movie)



He is pleased with me
My Lord and Master
Declares that he's pleased with me
What does he mean.

What does he know of me
This lord and master
When he has looked at me
What has he seen.

Something young
Soft and slim
Painted cheek
Tap'ring limb.

Smiling lips
All for him
Eyes that shine
Just for him
So he thinks.

Just for him

Though the man may be
My Lord and Master
Though he may study me
As hard as he can.

The smile beneath my smile
He'll never see
He'll never know
I love another man.

He'll never know
I love another man.
