[Intro]
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-hey
Hey
[Verse 1]
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 women got the men beat, they should know
[Chorus]
And not me, but the people they say
That the man are leading the women astray
But I say that the women of today
Smarter than the man in every way
[Post-Chorus]
That's right, the woman is, uh, smarter
That's right, the woman is, uh, smarter
That's right, the woman is, uh, smarter
That's right, that's right
[Verse 2]
Ah, ever since the world began
Woman was always teaching man
And if you listen to my bid attentively
I goin' tell you how she smarter than me
[Chorus]
And not me, but the people they say
That the man are leading the women astray
But I say that the women of today
Smarter than the man in every way
[Verse 3]
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 him all the strength was in the hair of his head
[Chorus]
And not me, but the people they say
That the man are leading the women astray
But I say that the women of today
Smarter than the man in every way
[Post-Chorus]
That's right, the woman is, uh, smarter
That's right, the woman is, uh, smarter
That's right, the woman is, uh, smarter
That's right, that's right
[Verse 4]
Hey, you meet a girl at a pretty dance
Thinkin' that you would stand a chance
Take her home, thinkin' she's alone
Open de door
You find her husband home
[Chorus]
Not me, but the people they say
That the man are leading the women astray
But I say that the women of today
Smarter than the man in every way
[Post-Chorus]
That's right, the woman is, uh, smarter
That's right, the woman is, uh, smarter
That's right, the woman is, uh, smarter
That's right, that's right
[Verse 5]
I was treatin' a girl independently
She was makin' baby for me
When de baby born and I went to see
Eyes was blue
It was not by me
[Chorus]
And not me, but the people they say
That the man are leading the women astray
But I say that the women of today
Smarter than the man in every way
[Outro]
Oh, yes, smarter
