The Battle of the Sexes

Lyrics

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
