James Brown
It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World (Live at Montreux Jazz Festival)
[Chorus]
This is a man's world
This is a man's world
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
Without a woman or a girl
[Verse 1]
You see
Man made the cars
To take us over the road
And man made the train
To carry the heavy load (Hmm)
Man made the electric lights
To take us out of the dark
And man made the boat by the water
Like my bible said Noah made the ark
[Chorus]
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing
Nothing without
Without a woman or a girl
Ladies and gentlemen, [?] on the trombone
[Verse 2]
Man thinks about the little bitty baby girls
And the baby boys
Man makes them happy
'Cause man makes them toys
And after man made everything
Everything, everything he can
Then man makes money
The root of our evil
To buy from another man
[Chorus]
I need a man, this is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, wouldn't be nothing, nothing
Without a woman or a girl
[Post-Chorus]
I think that man is lost
In the wilderness
I think that man is lost
In the bitterness
I think that man is lost
In the wilderness
I think that man is lost
In the bitterness, no
[Outro]
I need, oh this is a man's world
But it wouldn't, wouldn't be nothing, nothing
Without a woman
I need
This is a man's world (Yeah, yeah, yeah, I need)
This is a man's
Don't you feel it girls?
This is a man's world
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing
Nothing, nothing
Without the woman (Period!)
D'you know what I'm saying, girl?
Or a girl
Thank you
