Brotherhood of Man
[FINCH:]
Now wait a minute Wally, before you make any hasty decisions
Deep down under our skin there is flesh and blood
We're all brothers
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 a-givin' each brother all you can
Oh aren't you proud to be in that fraternity
The great big Brotherhood of Man?
Now you see Wally
I want you to remember that
Before you consider firing Mr. Bigley
You see, I know what's on your mind
You'd like to clear the whole crowd from top to bottom
That's the obvious move
But stop and think
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?
[Instrumental]
No kidding! Is there really a Brotherhood of Man?
(Yes you're a Brother, you are a Brother)
A benevolent Brotherhood of Man
(Oh yes, oh yes!)
A noble tie that binds
All human hearts and minds
Into one Brotherhood of Man
(Oh yes!)
Your lifelong membership is free
Keep a-givin' each brother all you can
Oh aren't you proud to be in that fraternity
The great big Brotherhood of Man?
Oh, that noble feeling
Feels like bells are pealing
Down with double-dealing
Oh Brother! 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!
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, man, man?
