Men, Get Wise To Yourself

Workin' man you better wake up, you've been asleep too long 
Workin' man you better wake up, you've been asleep too long 
Nothin' but these pimps and gigolos, that's goin' 'round breakin' up your home 
You go home sometime and there's no supper, your wife is even cross with you 
You go home sometime and find no supper, your wife is even cross with you 
It's just some no-good rat showin' her the place, where she don't need a man like you 
I've got some friends, supposed to be every good man in town 
I've got some friends, supposed to be every good man in town 
Soon as my back is turned, they're tryin' to tear my playhouse down 
Now some of these married women's so dumb, they don't even know the night from dawn 
Some of these married women's so dumb, they don't even know the night from dawn 
But put them chasin' some other woman's man, they got more brains than anybody in town 
Now some of these married women's so wild, their husbands they can't even understand 
Some of these married women's so wild, their husbands can't even understand 
All they think about, is chasin' some other woman's man 
Now a good woman will say sometime, that every man is just the same 
A good woman will say sometime, that every man is just the same 
But men when we look into it, these home-wreckers is just to blame 
Sometime we give a social party, to make 'em happy as we can 
Sometime we give a social party, to make 'em happy as we can 
There will be some no-good woman, to lead your wife to some no-good man
