Blues Lyrics: C. J. Chenier and the Red Hot Louisiana Band



This page contains lyrics to the following song(s):


Man Smart, Woman Smarter

This is not a true blues song but a pop song that was recorded a.o. by The Carpenters. C. J. Chenier, son of King of the Zydeco Clifton Chenier, gives it the good-time zydeco treatment on Alligator Records album "Too Much Fun" (recorded 1994); you can also find it on the Alligator Records 25th Anniversary Collection Double CD.

MAN SMART, WOMAN SMARTER (Kuhn)

Let us put man and woman together
See which one is smarter
Some say men, but I say no
Women got the men like a puppet show

Chorus:
 It ain't me, it's the people that say
 The men are leading the women astray
 But I say, it's the women today
 They're smarter than the men in every way
 That's right, the women are smarter
 That's right, the women are smarter

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

(Repeat chorus)
