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

And not me but the people they say

That de man are leading the 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

Samson was the strongest man long ago

No one could a beat him, as we all know

Until he clash with Deliah on top of the bed

She told them all the strength was in the hair of his head

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

I was treating 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

Methusaleh spent all his life in tears

Lived without a woman for 900 years

One day he decided to have some fun

The poor man never lived to see 900 and one
