Jefferson Mays feat. Bryce Pinkham -
A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
Better With a Man
When a fellow needs a little helping hand
Who'll be there? It's almost guaranteed
No one else could ever really understand
Only another man knows what you need
And when a man has fallen down upon his knees
In such a moment, who'd be better than
Someone who's self controlled
Someone who's strong and bold
Someone who's good as gold
It's better with a man
Better with a man
Then you agree, my friend.
Indeed i do.
When a man is lonely, he can always find
Another man who's feeling just the same (henry: that's it. Yes, he can.)
Drink will help you get your troubles off your mind
You'll both be buying before you know his name (oh, blotto and squiffy!)
And in that rousing climax when your horse comes in (come on, ponzo. Come on, ponzo.)
Who will cheer as loudly as he can (i will.)
Only a man would see
The meaning of victory
Oh, the comraderie
It's better with a man
Better with a man
Women have much to recommend
Lord knows i've had my share
Heh heh
But when a fellow needs a friend
That's a totally different affair
Women are soft against your skin
They're awfully nice to nestle with
But when the sport is masculine
You need a man to wrestle with
Gentlemen have secrets they will never tell
Oh, they will never tell
They'll never tell their wives
Married men know there are things you must not say
Discretion is the only way that love survives
Men are always there
Always there to share
And take good care
As mates, as brothers
Take a look at us
It's been ever thus
Since boarding school began
Women are too complex
Women too often vex
Men are a simpler sex
It's better with a man
Better with a man
Better with a man
Better with a man
Bottoms up!
