Man Smart, Woman Smarter
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!
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

But I say, that the women of today
