Truer Words Have Never Been Spoken

What do you people think of this as our first dance song?

Man Smart (Woman Smarter)
Performed by Harry Belafonte

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 and they should know

**Chorus**
And not me but the people they say
That the men are leading the women astray
But I say, that the women of today
Smarter than the man in every way
That’s right the woman is SMARTER
That’s right the woman is SMARTER
That’s right the woman is SMARTER
That’s right
That’s right

Ever since the world began
Woman was always teaching man
Hey, you listen to my bid attentively
I going tell you how she’s smarter than me

Not me but the people they say
That the men are leading the women astray
But I say, that the women of today
Smarter than the man in every way

Samson was the strongest man long ago
No one could beat him, as we all know
Until he clashed with Delilah on top of the bed
She told them all the strength was in the hair of his head

**Chorus**

You meet a girl at a pretty dance
Thinking that you would stand a chance
Take her home, thinking she’s alone
Open the door you find her husband home

**Chorus**

I was treating a girl independently
She was making baby for me
When the baby’s born and I went to see
Eyes was blue it was not by me

**Chorus**
**Chorus**

Below are extra verses not in the recorded version of the song.

Garden of Eden was very nice
Adam never work in Paradise
Eve meet snake, Paradise gone
She make Adam work from that day on

**Chorus**

Methuselah spent all his life in tears
Lived without a woman for 900 years
One day he decided to have some fun
The poor man never lived to see 900 and one

**Chorus**
**Chorus**

Yeah, I know. It’s a little too upbeat…

  2. Wow. You all amaze me. You guys need to get a life, or get a girl drunk enough to think of sleeping with you. I am a feminist, and I don’t think this is funny. In the past, women were slaves, not able to own land, anything they owned belonged to their husbands. Hell, there were shotgun weddings just so the families could get the women off their backs. Women have been slapped, beaten, abused physically and mentally, all while the “husband” was doing it all. ‘Oh yeah’ I bet you’re saying, ‘it’s a joke, back off…’ Bullshit. I bet you’d find it hilarious to go to an abuse wife shelter, and see the women there with broken arms, black eyes, shivering, who jump when ever they see or hear a man. I was a beaten wife. I remember standing in a pool of my own blood while my husband kept hitting me because I put too much sugar in his coffee, or dinner wasn’t hot enough. I remember thinking, ‘If I do everything right, he’ll love me again.’ Guess what? He didn’t. Now he’s in prison because my best friend came over and found me whimpering while my husband loomed over me. So I’m soooooo sorry to stop you fun, but you need to know women are brilliant strong people. We are doctors, police people, I myself am a lawyer. We make our own money, and we have our own lives. And I’m sorry I made such a big deal out of this “joke” but it’s not funny. Now I do know women can be mean, but how can you blame us? You should be happy to even come near one of us. Guys are all hyocits. Even God. You guys moan and bitch about how she’s cheating on you, while you have your dick in someone else’s pussy. But no, The Master thinks that his girlfriend must follow every rule, or else she’s cheating on him. You know what, FUCK YOU! I was a beaten wife, and I will not let it happen again. More that 3 million women are begging for their life every five seconds. And that’s just in America. Sometimes men just make me sick.

  4. Holy Cow, GeekMan. I don’t really understand the impetus of that rant.

    You didn’t deserve that.

    **Standing beside TMG** I know you have a thick skin, but there’s a *great* quote from Bette Midler (at least I think she said it).

    “F*ck ’em if they can’t take a joke”

    And, before I get flamed, I understand spousal abuse more than you know.

  7. Whoa! Just wanted to say I think it’s a great song. Also, if I were you, I’d keep that other great Belafonte song,
    “Mama look a boo-boo(shut your mouth)” for the christening
