Lyrics

I say let us put man and a woman together To find out which one is smarter uh 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 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 Samson was the strongest man long ago No one could a beat him, as we all know Until he clash with Delilah on top of the bed She told them all the strength was in the hair of his head 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 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 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 I was treating a girl independently She was making baby for me When de baby born and I went to see Eyes was blue (shit) it was not by me 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 Oh, yes smarter!
