[English]

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 train

To carry the heavy load

Man made the 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, a man's, man's world

But it wouldn't be nothing

nothing

without a woman or a girl

Man thinks a little 'bout a baby girl

and baby boys

Man make them happy

'cause man make them toys

And after man make everything

everything he can

Do you know that man make 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

It's a man's world

But it wouldn't be nothing

oh, where would we be

Be without a woman or a girl?
