Meaning
'Ado Annie' is the character singing the song she has a deep admiration for the company of men, very deep. She is explaining to 'Laurey' that even though she knows she is supposed to show restraint around men because the man she is supposed to be married, 'Will Parker', is away during this scene in Kansas City MO. 'Laurey' questions 'Annie' how she can be so friendly to men because she is very coy toward them herself. I suppose modern day people would call 'Annie', who is living in 1906 Oklahoma, a slut. It is clear in the song that she views herself as someone who indulges in carnal pleasures. I have had the pleasure of managing the stage and being acting as the assistant director of "R&H"s Oklahoma!" a number of times and I have always enjoyed it very much - so much so that when we had our final performance and set strike, I went through a very deep period of mourning. It is a show that really allows any artist to stretch their talents to the limits, make incredible bonds, and do things they never thought they could. I would do it 100 times again if the opportunity presented itself to me. During my first production of R&H's "Oklahoma!" I was the stage manager. The property master. The master of arms (the show uses a starter pistol that is required to be shot three times). I researched what the 1906 Oklahoma territory (it was not yet a state) currency looked like, and reproduced enough paper money and coin for the 'box social' auction. I was used in making costumes, several set pieces (Including Aunt Eller's house that had to pivot on stage during Laurey's nightmare to become the brothel, breaking my hand on opening night). Running back and forth like a maniac with a '60 proscenium. Call cues... When it was over I was exhausted - and I wouldn't trade that for anything in the world.
