Man for all seasons

Now the woman wears the trousers

Now my shirts remain uncreased

Now the shoe is on the other foot

Maybe I can feel released

All the pleasure of pleasing you

All the powers of needing you

Now I'm no longer keeping you

So now she's working at the office

And I don't have a job at all

She keeps me in cigarettes

Once a bat now a ball

All the dinners are burning dear

All the while I'm learning dear

Now I'm no longer earning dear

A man for all seasons

Not now I'm feeling so tired

I've got so much upon my plate

Not now was the distant cry

As the latch fell on the gate

A man for all seasons

Now the house is like a garage

Parts of me about the room

I'm building up another me

One that takes a nap at noon

All the parties are thrown for you

All the people are known by you

Now I'm building this home for you
