[Verse 1]
Lose your step for laughs
Save a rock for luck
Then when you get stuck sling a shot
In order to be tough
[Chorus]
Don't be soft like the hands of the modern man
Don't be soft like the modern man
[Verse 2]
String the ducks along
Lose your taste for charms
Then when things go wrong make a joke
In order to be strong
[Verse 3]
Start at 2 for 5
End at 5 for 2
Then when you arrive ring the bell
Cause that's what grown boys do
[Chorus]
Don't be soft like the hands of the modern man
Don't be soft like the modern man
[Bridge]
Luxuriate in your own loneliness
You luxuriate in your own loneliness
[Chorus]
Don't be soft like the hands of the modern man
Don't be soft like the modern man
[Chorus]
Don't be soft like the hands of the modern man
Don't be soft like the modern man
[Chorus]
Don't be soft like the hands of the modern man
Don't be soft like the modern man
[Outro]
Girl, don't be soft
Don't be soft, be a man
Girl, don't be soft
Don't be soft, be a man
Girl, don't be soft
Don't be soft, be a man
Girl, don't be soft
Don't be soft
