SEVEN STAGES OF MAN
Stutz / Lindeman

as rec by Anne Shelton  1957


There are seven stages of man,
Seven stages of man,
There are seven stages of man,
And woman loves every one!

First comes the baby, mama loves him!
Then comes the schooboy, teacher loves him!
When he's a soldier, oh joy!
Every girl loves a soldier boy!

There are seven stages of man,
Seven stages of man,
There are seven stages of man,
And woman loves every one!

When he's a lover, sweethearts love him!
When he's a father, daughters love him!
When he gets older and grey,
Grandaughter still thinks he's quite okay!

There are seven stages of man, (aye, it's true!)
Seven stages of man, (that's what I say!)
There are seven stages of man,
And woman loves every one!

Now that he's ninety, who can love him?
If you related, you can love him!
Nieces and sisters love him still,
Hoping that he puts them into his will!

There are seven stages of man,
Seven stages of man,
There are seven stages of man,
And woman loves every one!
Yes, woman loves every one!
Yes, woman loves every one!
