Girls, have you got the kind of man everyone looks up to?
|
Well, if you don't, listen; I'll tell you what to do:
|
Get your man, take him by the hand, and come on here to me
|
I'm here to tell you about equal opportunity
|
|
There was a time when the world was fickle
|
And it may have been hard to succeed
|
Well, times have changed now
|
And school and training is what you really need
|
It doesn't matter who you may be
|
Everyone's equal with the same opportunity
|
|
CHORUS:
|
Things are changing for the better
|
Things are changing for the better
|
Now's the time for you to better yourself
|
|
Life's got problems, but you can make it
|
And I'm gonna tell you why
|
Just like the early bird that catches the worm
|
You gotta get up, go out and try
|
Your race or color won't stand in your way
|
Don't wait for tomorrow; today is your day
|
|
(chorus)
|
|
Good jobs are out there, just waiting to be found
|
But they won't come to you, uh uh!
|
You gotta get up and look around!
|
|
(repeat last 2 lines of verse 2, then chorus)
|
|
(repeat and fade):
|
Things are changing for the better
|
