When a fellow needs a little helping hand
Who'll be there? It's almost guaranteed
No one else could ever really understand
Only another man knows what you need
And when a man has fallen down upon his knees
In such a moment who'd be better than
Someone who's self-controlled
Someone who's strong and bold
Someone as good as gold
It's better with a man
Better with a man
Then you agree, my friend?
Indeed, I do!
When a man is lonely he can always find
Another man who's feeling just the same
Drink will help you get your troubles off your mind
You'll both be blind before you know his name
And in that rousing climax when your horse comes in
Who will cheer as loudly as he can?
Only a man can see
The meaning of victory
Oh, the camaraderie
It's better with a man
HENRY
It's better with a man

Women have much to recommend
HENRY
Women have much to recommend
Lord knows I've had my share
HENRY & MONTY
But when a fellow needs a friend
HENRY
That's a totally different affair
MONTY
Women are soft against your skin
They're awfully nice to nestle with
HENRY
But when the sport is masculine-
HENRY & MONTY
You need a man to wrestle with!
HENRY
Gentlemen have secrets they will never tell
MONTY
Gentlemen have secrets they will never tell
HENRY
No, they will never tell
HENRY & MONTY
They'll never tell their wives
HENRY
Married men know there are things you must not say
HENRY & MONTY
Discretion is the only way
That love survives
HENRY
Men are always there
MONTY
Men are always there
HENRY
Always there to share
MONTY
Always there to share
And take good care
As mates and brothers
HENRY
Nothing can compare
For instance
HENRY & MONTY
Take a look at us
It's been ever thus
Since boarding school began
HENRY
Women are too complex
MONTY
Women too often vex
HENRY & MONTY
Men are a simpler sex
HENRY
It's better with a man
MONTY
Better with a man
HENRY
Better with a man
HENRY & MONTY
Better with a man!
(Spoken) Bottoms up!
