Masculinity
Lyricist:Jerry Herman
I want you to pick up that piece of toast like a man
Think of this as Masculine toast and masculine butter Ready for spreading by a masculine hand Pick up that knife and make believe it's a machete It'll take all your strength and steady nerves For hacking your way through the cherry preserves
Think of John Wayne and Jean Paul Belmondo Think of the Legionnaires and Charlemagne's men So like a stevedore you grab your cup And if God forbid that your pinky pops up You can climb back up the mountain once again
Listen to that About that voice of yours
Grunt like an ape and growl like a tiger Give us a roaring, snorting masculine laugh Try to remember that John Wayne was not soprano Try giving it rough and gruff and low. Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Try more of John Wayne and less Brigitte Bardodt
Think of De Gaulle and pick up Rasputin Think like a Daniel marching into the den While trying to join the burly brutes If you forget that your nylons are under your boots You can climb back up the mountain once again
Think Ghengis Kan (Think) And think Taras Bulba (Think, think, think)
Think of Atilla's Huns And Robin Hood's men (Hup, hup)
Try not to weaken or collapse If they discover the petticoat under your chaps You can climb back up the mountain once again
Woah, yeah
