The Battle of the Sexes

Back in the garden of Eden
That never needed weedin'
Adam made himself a new straw hat
But all that he was wearin'
Eve just sat there starin'
Sayin', «Adam, you can’t go out dressed like that»
And that did it, blam-to-blam
That’s when all the fun began
That’s the day when all the men and women went to war
Now, the battle of the sexes
Runs from Babylon to Texas
And they’ll fight, fight, fight forevermore
Anthony, that mighty Roman
Cleopatra’s hair was combin'
She knew he was no mental acrobat
He was a great romancer
But he never should have answered
When she asked him, «Does this dress make me look fat?»
And that did it, blam-to-blam
That’s when all the fun began
That’s the day when all the men and women went to war
Now, the battle of the sexes
Runs from Babylon to Texas
And they’ll fight, fight, fight forevermore
Delilah said to Samson
«You're so tall and dark and handsome
My heart beats like it never gonna stop
You are so hurly-burly
Your hair so long and curly
I just think I’ll take a little off the top»
George Washington and Martha
Sat before a glowing hearth
Another soft, Virginia evening drifting by
But as the room grew colder
She asked him if she looked older
And he said, «My dear I cannot tell a lie»
And that did it, blam-to-blam
That’s when all the fun began
That’s the day when all the men and women went to war
Now, the battle of the sexes
Runs from Babylon to Texas
And they’ll fight, fight, fight forevermore
Oh, the battle of the sexes
Runs from Babylon to Texas
And they’ll fight, fight, fight forevermor
