Now here's a young man,
although new with our Columbia Records family,
he's been with us a short time.
He's certainly made himself
known
to each and every one of you.
And judging from the numerous
times
that you've spent on his records,
we'll be hearing from
him for a long time to come.
Ladies and gentlemen,
it's my privilege to present to you
Mr. Tommy Collins.
Adam and Eve were alone in the garden
no other human being there
just them two
Adam was a man, and Eve was a woman
and a man got to do
what a man got to do
Eve was a -primping and
a -prisoning
and a -purring and Adam said, Honey,
you sweet thing, you
There's a lot of things that
oughta be a -doin'
But a man gotta do what a man gotta do
He told her he oughta plow,
oughta hold the garden now
Oughta cut the barley in the South 42
But somethin' made him hesitate,
let the darn work wait
A man gotta do what a man gotta
do
Adam set the pattern in
the Garden of Eden
Now many years later it still holds true
Boy meets girl and
they're gonna get together
Cause a man gotta do
what a man gotta do
Rich man, old man, poor man,
young man
Say what you will but it still holds true
There might be things
that they oughta be a -doin'
But a man gotta do what a man gotta do
It's always been and it always will be
And I wouldn't change it if I could,
would you?
A man is a man, and he just can't help it
Cause a man gotta do
what a man gotta do
It's always been and it always will be
And I wouldn't change it if I could,
would you?
A man is a man,
and he just can't help it
And a man gotta do what a man gotta do
