This is a man's world, this is a man's world But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl You see, man made the cars to take us over the road Man made the train to carry the heavy load Man made electric light to take us out of the dark Man made the boat for the water, like Noah made the ark This is a man's, man's, man's world But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl Man thinks about our little bitty baby girls and our baby boys Man made them happy, 'cause man made them toys And after man make everything, everything he can You know that man makes money, to buy from other man This is a man's world But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing, Not one little thing, without a woman or a girl He's lost in the wilderness He's lost in bitterness, he's lost lost This is a man's world But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing, without a woman or a girl.
