Andrew Lloyd Webber - Man’s Man lyrics

We have waited for your
Sainted brother long enough
Now it seems it's your turn
Show you've got the stuff
Stalwart, brave and unafraid
Show us what you're made of
Let the memory of Prince Charming fade
Although that's tough
Even so, my God, that boy was buff, oh
Mark my word there's no one before or since
Who is the equal of our sweet prince

True, what a man's man, man

Rest assured, my boy was in peak condition
He could best any competition
Not a flash in the pan
He was the real Prince Charming
'twas impossible to dislike him
Even armed to the teeth, disarming

What a man's man, man

No one was more inspiring
He's the one every boy looked up to
Who the women were all desiring

Not an also ran

My first born
On Earth there was no one braver
He was everyone's favorite flavor

Yes, a man's man, ma'am

How I mourn that he isn't here to cheer me
Left his brother behind, oh, dear me
He's a poor lost lamb

Someone to share a beer with

And to hear all your woes and troubles

Or to swing from a chandelier with

What a man's man, man

He was hot, hot enough to blister

Could have had any girl he wanted

Though I'd still trust him with my sister

What a man's man, man so darn smart

A champion in the saddle
Not one knave half as brave in battle
What a man's man, man off the chart

So handsome but not a vain male

He looked fabulous in his chainmail

What a Dapper Dan

No one will ever be his equal
Lord knows, his brother's not the sequel
He was not nondescript

He was so darn ripped

Let's say the boy was well-equipped

Girls went bananas when they'd see 'em
Buns that belong in a museum
And we must make it clear
He was without peer
Yes, he is everything but here
What a shot, a pro with a bow and arrow
The nobility of a pharaoh
And a cardinal's grace

My soft spot

This guy really had the sizzle
Every sculptor would grab his chisel
When they saw that face
Let's cut to the chase
He was a swashbuckling, mead-swilling
Virile, strapping, lady-killing
Dragon-slaying, cow-tipping
Lion hearted, bodice-ripping
Knuckle-dragging, princess-shagging
Man's, man's, very tan man
