[1] In the musical, Hakim is the type of character who would flirt with forty women, but would prefer marriage only over being shot.
Feeling trapped, he sings with the men of Oklahoma of how tricky and dirty girls are in getting husbands, using their fathers (with their guns) as backups.
The song ends with the men declaring a revolution and then having their plans thwarted by women, who come in and drag them away.
Hakim only sings two lines of the song; the rest is spoken.
[citation needed] This song from the original stage musical was not included in the 1955 film version, but is used briefly as underscoring for Ali's appearance.
