[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?
