this is a Man's.... But....
Rinse and repeat
You see, man made the cars
That take us over the road.
Man made the train...
To carry the heavy load.
Man made the electric light
To take us out of the dark.
Man made the boat for the water
Like ({live version}"they say") Noah made the Ark.
This is a man's man's man's world,
but it wouldn't be nothing.
without a woman or a girl.
Man thinks about the little bitty baby girls and the baby boys
Man makes them happy, cause man makes them toys
And after man makes everything, everything he can
You know that man makes money to buy from other men.
This is a man's man's man's world,
but it wouldn't be nothing.
without a woman or a girl.
