Man's World - Loudon Wainwright III

Welcome to the jungle, baby

You’ve been in the dungeon

You look cute in that three-piece suit

It’s a two-martini luncheon

It’s a man’s world and we all know

For it you’ve been itching

If you can’t stand the heat out here

Slip back into the kitchen

All that sweat and muscle tone

Stiffens my libido

Now you’re on that Nautilus, whoa

You’re a crazy Captain Nemo

Feel the burn, you powerhouse

Experience elation

One day you might stumble on

A cure for menstruation

I saw you speaking on that talk show

About what bastards men are

Cruel rapists, rip-off artists

All together bizarre

Peter Pan’s and Captain Hook’s

Out to get poor Wendy

But as for Tinkerbell

You must admit she was a bit unfriendly

Towards Wendy

I’m pleased you see your curves and cleavage

Are to your advantage

Your brassiere burning older sisters

They did not understand this

Your weakness is your greatest strength

Little girl keep breaking

All that crying is not lying

It’s just some good old-fashioned faking

Yes, you see the recipe

For happiness is easy

Our family and our career

Oh, a body should keep busy

And if your husband, boyfriend, children

Start to kick and shove you

Remember that Phil Donahue

And Alan Alda love you
