Brotherhood of Man
[FINCH]
Now you may join the Elks, my friend
And I may join the Shriners
And other men may carry cards
As members of the Diners
Still others wear a golden key
Or small Greek letter pin
But I have learned there's one great club
That all of us are in
There is a brotherhood of man
A benevolent brotherhood of man
A noble tie that binds
All human hearts and minds
Into one brotherhood of man
Your lifelong membership is free
Keep a-givin’ each brother all you can
Oh, aren't you proud to bе
In that fraternity
The great big brothеrhood of man?
[FINCH, spoken]
So Wally, before consider firing everybody, remember this
[FINCH]
One man may seem incompetent
Another not make sense
While others look like quite a waste
Of company expense
They need a brother's leadership
So, please, don’t do them in
Remember mediocrity
Is not a mortal sin
[FINCH & MEN]
They're (We're)
In (In)
The (The)
[MEN]
Brotherhood of man
Dedicated to giving all we can
[FINCH]
Oh, aren't you proud to be
In that fraternity
[FINCH & MEN]
The great big brotherhood of man?
[WOMPER, spoken]
No kiddin'!
[WOMPER, BIGGLEY & MEN]
Is there really a brotherhood (Yes, you're a brother)
Of man? (You are a brother)
On the level, a brotherhood of man?
[MEN]
Oh, yes! Oh, yes!
A noble tie that binds
All human hearts and minds
[WOMPER & MEN]
Into one brotherhood of man (Oh, yes!)
[MEN & MISS JONES]
Your lifelong membership is free
Keep a-givin' each brother all you can

Oh, that noble feeling
Feels like bells are pealing
Down with double dealing
Oh, brother!
You, you got me
Me, I got you, you
[MISS JONES & MEN]
Oh, that noble feeling
Feels like bells are pealing
Down with double dealing

Feels like bells are pealing
Down with double dealing
Oh, brother!
