Now, you may join the Elks, my friend, |
|
And I may join the Shriners; |
|
And other men may carry cards |
|
As members of the Diners. |
|
|
|
Still others wear a golden key |
|
Or small Greek letter pin; |
|
But I have learned there's one great club |
|
That all of us are in. |
|
|
|
There is a Brotherhood of Man, |
|
A Benevolent Brotherhood of Man, |
|
A noble tie that binds |
|
All human hearts and minds |
|
Into one Brotherhood of Man. |
|
|
|
Your lifelong membership is free. |
|
Keep agivin' each brother all you can. |
|
Oh aren't you proud to be |
|
In that fraternity, |
|
The great big Brotherhood of Man? |
|
|
|
So, Wally, before you consider firing everybody, remember this: |
|
|
|
One man may seem incompetent, |
|
Another not make sense, |
|
While others look like quite a waste |
|
Of company expense. |
|
|
|
They need a brother's leadership, |
|
So please don't do them in. |
|
Remember mediocrity |
|
Is not a mortal sin. |
|
|
|
They're in the Brotherhood of Man, |
|
Dedicated to giving all we can. |
|
Oh, aren't you proud to be |
|
In that fraternity, |
|
The great big Brotherhood of Man? |
|
|
|
You, you got me; |
|
Me, I got you, you! |
|
|
|
Oh, that noble feeling, |
|
Feels like bells are pealing, |
|
Down with double-dealing, |
|
Oh Brother! |
|
|
|
You, you got me; |
|
Me, I got you, you! |
|
|
|
Your lifelong membership is free. |
|
Keep agivin' each brother all you can. |
|
Oh aren't you proud to be |
|
In that fraternity, |
|
The great big Brotherhood of Man? |
