Better With a Man

Lyrics

HENRY: 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 MONTY: Better with a man HENRY: (spoken) Then you agree, my friend? MONTY: (spoken) 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 MONTY: 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!
