Well there used to be a time when a man was a king

To work for a man was a woman's only dream

Everything he did was perfectly alright

He didn't have to worry about fussin' and fightin'

It don't happen no more

That was a long time ago

It's a pitiful shame

How the world has changed



There used to be a time when a woman couldn't smoke

There used to be a time when a woman couldn't vote

She used to stay at home while the man went out to play

She was satisfied with life any old way



It don't happen no more

That was a long time ago

It's a pitiful shame

How the world has changed

Well, well



There used to be a time when a woman couldn't cook

There used to be a time she didn't worry about her looks

She used to sip on sassafrass, she didn't even drink

She didn't try to tell her man how to think



It don't happen no more

That was a long time ago

It's a pitiful shame

How the world has changed

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah



It don't happen no more

That was a long time ago

It's a pitiful shame

How the world has changed



It don't happen no more

That was a long time ago

It's a pitiful shame

How the world has changed
