NOT ME
Robert Mitchum - 1957


Let’s put woman and man together
To find out which one is smarter
Some say ‘men’, but I say No
The women play the men like a puppet show

Not me – it is the people who say
That the men are leading the women astray
But I say that the women of today
Smarter than men in every way
They’re smart – they’re clever chicks
They’re smart – with crazy tricks
They got no mercy in their heart
They’re smart – intelligent

Ever since the world began
Woman was always fooling man
And if you listen to me, attentively
I want to show you how the woman’s smarter than me

Not me – it is the people who say
That the men are leading the women astray
But I say that the women of today
Smarter than men in every way
They’re smart, they’re clever chicks
Oh they’re sharp with clever tricks
They got no mercy in their heart
They’re smart – they’re pretty shrewd

Samson was the strongest man long ago
Nobody could beat him, that we all know
And when he clashed with Delilah, like soldiers said
She found that the strength was in the hair of the head

Not me – it is the people who say
That the men are leading the women astray
But I say that the women of today
Smarter than men in every way

Now I had a little girl named Doraldee
She marry me independently
She was saving the money all the time
And then she ran to Cuba with a friend of mine

Not me, it is the people who say
That the men are leading the women astray
But I say that the women of today
Smarter than men in every way
They’re smart – they’re clever chicks
They’re smart – with crazy tricks
They got no mercy in their hearts
They smart – they intelligent, man

Had another girl named Emilee 
She promised that she would marry with me
But then she put me in jail and when I go to see
I find that she already married to two or three

Not me - it is the people who say
That the men are leading the women astray
But I say that the women of today
Smarter than men in every way
