Harry Belafonte Man Smart, Woman Smarter Lyrics

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 beat they should know

And not me but the people they say
That de man has always lead women 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 bid attentively
I goin' tell you how she, smarter than we

And not me but the people they say
That de man has always lead women astray
But I say, Please listen when I say
She's smarter than de man in every way

In the Garden of eden
Adam built a home
When he settled down, Eve start to rome

But I say, Please listen when I say
She's smarter than de 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

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

That de man has always lead women astray
But I say, Please listen when I say
She's smarter than de man in every way

I was treating a girl independently
She was making baby for me
When de baby born and I went to see
De Eyes was blue... it was not by me

Eve meet snake, Paradise gone
She make Adam work from that day on

Methusaleh spent all his life in tears
Did without woman for 900 years
One day he decided to have some fun
De poor man never lived to see 900 and one

But I say, Please listen when I say

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
