[English]

I can be a, I can be your man ( I can be your manly man)

I can be a, I can be your man ( I can be your manly man)

A real hot shakin baker

A honky tonk hard breaker

But I can be your manly, manly man

I can touch your strings, like a ringa ling a ding

You can blow my whistle, any day you want

I can lindance you to heaven, doze doe you two, four, seven

Make your engine roar just like my motor

I can be a, I can be your man ( I can be your manly man)

I can be a, I can be your man ( I can be your manly man)

A real hot shakin baker

A honky tonk hard breaker

But I can be your manly, manly man

Your heart is cold like moonlight in the freezer

I will thaw you with my hootenanny teaser

Serenade you like a howling dog

And I won’t ask you bonita please

I won’t bend my dirty knees, but oh your booty make me straighter than a log

I can be a, I can be your man ( I can be your manly man)

I can be a, I can be your man ( I can be your manly man)

A real hot shakin baker

A honky tonk hard breaker

But I can be your manly, manly man
