MAN AND WOMAN
(Livingstone / Evans)
Rosemary Clooney & Bing Crosby

((A man or a woman, we all will agree))
((To make life worth living is necessary))

A man is a creature we can’t overlook
As easy to read as a page in a book
He’ll boast and he’ll brag of the women he spurned
But just like a doorknob his head can be turned

Uh huh, (uh-huh), mm-mm, (uh-huh), uh-huh, (uh-huh), uh-huh, (uh-huh)

A man oh a man any woman will say
Whatever he is, we like him that way

(A woman is something both evil and good)
(But too complicated to be understood)
(An angel when loving, a devil when mad)
(A woman can make you both happy and sad)

(Mm-mm), mm-mm, (mm-mm), mm-mm, (mm-mm), mm-mm, (mm-mm), mm-mm

(A woman, a woman, oh what can she be)
(Whatever she is, she’s necessary)

Complains that he’s henpecked and treated so bad
But if he’s ignored, then he’ll holler like mad
He knows all the methods of landing a fish
But still can’t be trusted at drying a dish

Uh-huh, (uh-huh), uh-huh, (uh-huh), mm-mm, (mm-mm), mm-mm, (mm-mm) 
A man, oh a man, any woman will say
Whatever he is, we like him that way

(Afraid of a cricket, she’ll scream at a mouse)
(But she’ll tackle a husband as big as a house)
(She’ll take him for better, she’ll take him for worse)
(She’ll bust his head open and then be his nurse)

(Uh-huh), uh-huh, (uh-huh), uh-huh, (uh-huh), uh-uh, (uh-huh),uh-huh

((A man or a woman, we all will agree))
((To make life worth living is necessary))

Additional lyric:

As strong as an ox, or as meek as a pup.
He's just a small boy who will never grow up.
A leader by day, he can make business hum,
Yet wind up at night under some women's thumb.

She's bashful, deceitful, keen-sighted and blind.
Simple and crafty, and cruel and kind.
In the mornin' she does, in the evenin' she don't.
You're always a-thinkin' she will but she won't.
