The only argument I would make with your statement is the word “too”. Hammerstein is almost an entire definition of “twee” himself. That doesn’t preclude him from being one of the most loved lyricists of all time. It’s also rather strange to compare composition and lyricism. Rodgers certainly had nowhere near the talent Hammerstein did at actually putting words to music.
