A Man Among Men
Well, well, well, lookey you here
See me smiling from ear to ear
What could it be that's making me grin
Do you think I might be into the gin
Don't touch the stuff, it makes me silly
Already silly, my mind's willy-nilly
Sometimes things that come out of my mouth
Surprise even me and surely my spouse
But as I have reached these golden years
At people's opinion of me, I just sneer
Everyone should be just who they are
No matter how silly, or extreme or bizarre
I pride myself being my own man
A far cry from when my dear life began
Extremely happy with the way things turned out
Over the moon, of that there's no doubt
Once had a complex way back when
But now I'm a real man among men
Well, well, well, looky you here
See me smiling from ear to ear
