Lyrics:
This is a man’s world, this is a man’s worldBut it wouldn’t be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
You see, man made the cars to take us over the roadMan made the train to carry the heavy loadMan made electric light to take us out of the darkMan made the boat for the water, like Noah made the ark
This is a man’s, man’s, man’s worldBut it wouldn’t be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
Man thinks about our little bitty baby girls and our baby boysMan made them happy, ’cause man made them toysAnd after man make everything, everything he canYou know that man makes money, to buy from other man
This is a man’s worldBut it wouldn’t be nothing, nothing, not one little thing, without a woman or a girlHe’s lost in the wildernessHe’s lost in bitterness, he’s lost lost
