One of two female leads, Ado Annie has a pair of principal suitors, a Persian traveling salesman Ali Hakim and the cowboy Will Parker, recently returned from an excursion to Kansas City . She describes to her friend Laurey the attention she is now receiving from men "since she filled out" and her inability to say "no" to their advances . </P> <P> Sample lyrics: </P> <Dl> <Dd> It ain't so much a question of not knowing what to do . </Dd> <Dd> I knowed what's right and wrong since I was ten . </Dd> <Dd> I heared a lot of stories and I reckon they are true </Dd> <Dd> About how girls're put upon by men . </Dd> <Dd> I know I mustn't fall into the pit </Dd> <Dd> But when I'm with a feller, </Dd> <Dd> I fergit! </Dd> </Dl> <Dd> It ain't so much a question of not knowing what to do . </Dd>
