James Brown — Its A Mans Mans Mans World

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 trains
to carry heavy loads
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 a little baby girls
and a baby boys
Man makes them happy
'cause man makes them toys
And after man has made 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 without a woman or a girl

He's lost in the wilderness
He's lost in bitterness
