Man Smart (Woman Smarter)

About Man Smart (Woman Smarter)

"Man Smart (Woman Smarter)" is a calypso song variously credited as being composed by Norman Span (King Radio), D. L. Miller, F. Kuhn, and Charles Harris. Span's authorship seems most likely since, as a popular calypso musician and songwriter, he first recorded the song in 1936, and none of the other ascribed composers are associated with calypso. Miller's music industry career began around 1950. Artists from many genres, including Joan Baez, Harry Belafonte, the Carpenters, Rosanne Cash, Chubby Checker, Dr Victor, Robert Palmer, and Ratdog, have recorded the song. It was a staple of the live repertoire of the Grateful Dead from 1981 to 1995. Belafonte's first of three recordings of the song was included on his best-selling album Calypso, which reached number one on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart in 1956, and remained on the chart for 31 weeks. Span is credited as the song's composer on Belafonte's albums. It is sung by Desi Arnaz, Lucille Ball, William Frawley and Vivian Vance in the 1957 episode of I Love Lucy entitled "Ragtime Band". more »

Let us put man and woman together
And see which one is smarter
Some say men but I say no
The women got the men like a puppet show 

Ain't me, its the people they say
The men are leading the women astray
But I say, its the women today
Are smarter than the man in every way 

That's right, the women are smarter
That's right, the women are smarter 

A little boy sat down and cried
An old man passing asked him why
He said I can't do what the big boys do
Old man sat down and he cried too 

Ain't me, its the people that say
The men are leading the women astray
But I say, its the women today 
Are smarter than the man in every way

That's right, the women are smarter
That's right, the women are smarter

Robert Palmer

Robert Allen Palmer (19 January 1949 – 26 September 2003) was an English singer and songwriter.
