I say let us put man and a woman together
|
To find out which one is smarter
|
Some say man but I say no
|
The woman got the man de day should know
|
|
And not me but the people they say
|
That de man are leading de women astray
|
But I say, that the women of today
|
Smarter than the man in every way
|
That's right de woman is uh smarter
|
That's right de woman is uh smarter
|
That's right de woman is uh smarter, that's right, that's right
|
|
Ever since the world began
|
Woman was always teaching man
|
And I you listen to my bid attentively
|
I goin' tell you how she smarter than me
|
|
Samson was the strongest man long ago
|
No one could a beat him, as we all know
|
Until he clash with Deliah on top of the bed
|
She told them all the strength was in the hair of his head
|
|
You meet a girl at a pretty dance
|
Thinking that you would stand a chance
|
Take her home, thinking she's alone
|
Open de door you find her husband home
|
|
I was treating a girl independently
|
She was making baby for me
|
When de baby born and I went to see
|
Eyes was blue it was not by me
|
|
Garden of Eden was very nice
|
Adam never work in Paradise
|
Eve meet snake, Paradise gone
|
She make Adam work from that day on
|
|
Methusaleh spent all his life in tears
|
Lived without a woman for 900 years
|
One day he decided to have some fun
|
The poor man never lived to see 900 and one
|
