Harry Belafonte - Man Smart, Woman Smarter lyrics

rate me

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

(Chorus)

And not me but the people they say

That de man has always lead woman astray

But I say, please listen when I say

She's 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 fooling man

And, if you listen to my bit attentively

I going tell ya how she's smarter than me

In the Garden of Eden Adam built a home

When he settle down Eve start to roam

Many a night he spent in pain

Whenever Eve was Abel she was raisin' Cain

You meet a girl at a pretty dance

Thinking that you would stand a chance

Take her home, thinkin' she’s alone

Open de door you find her husband home

I was treatin' 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

Methuselah spent all his life in tears

Did without woman for 900 years

One day he decided to have some fun

The poor man never lived to see 900 and one
