Text / Lyrics:

Masculine Women, Feminine Men
Hey, hey
Women are going mad today
Hey, hey
Fellas are just as bad, I′ll say!
Go anywhere
Just stand and stare
You’ll say they′re bugs
When you look at the clothes they wear

Masculine women, feminine men
Which is the rooster, which is the hen?
It’s hard to tell ’em apart today
And say
Sister is busy learning to shave
Brother just loves his permanent wave
It′s hard to tell ′em apart today
Hey, hey!
Girls were girls and boys were boys
When I was a tot
Now we don’t know who is who
Or even what′s what!
Knickers and trousers, baggy and wide
Nobody knows who’s walking inside!
Those masculine women and feminine men

Stop, look, listen and you′ll agree with me
Things are not what they used to be, you’ll see
You say hello to Uncle Joe
Then look again, and you′ll find it’s your Auntie Flo!

Masculine women, feminine men
Which is the rooster, which is the hen?
It’s hard to tell ′em apart today!
And say
Why, auntie is smoking, rolling her own
Uncle is always buying cologne
It′s hard to tell ’em apart today
Hey, hey
You go into give your girl a kiss in the hall
But instead you find you′re kissing her brother Paul!
Ma’s got a sweater up to her chin;
Papa′s got a girdle holding him in
Those masculine women and feminine men!

Now, wifey is playing billiards and pool
Hubby is dressing the kiddies for school
It’s hard to tell ′em apart today
Hey, hey
Since the Prince of Wales in ladies’ dresses was seen
What does he intend to be
The King or the Queen?
Why, grandmother buys those tailor-made clothes;
Grandfather tries to smell like a rose
Those masculine women and feminine men!
