Tom Paxton - The Battle Of The Sexes lyrics

Back in the garden of Eden That never needed weedin' Adam made himself a new straw hat But all that he was wearin' Eve just sat there starin' Sayin', “Adam, you can't go out dressed like that” And that did it, blam-to-blam That's when all the fun began That's the day when all the men and women went to war Now, the battle of the s**es Runs from Babylon to Texas And they'll fight, fight, fight forevermore Anthony, that mighty Roman Cleopatra's hair was combin' She knew he was no mental acrobat He was a great romancer But he never should have answered When she asked him, “Does this dress make me look fat?” And that did it, blam-to-blam That's when all the fun began That's the day when all the men and women went to war Now, the battle of the s**es Runs from Babylon to Texas And they'll fight, fight, fight forevermore Delilah said to Samson “You're so tall and dark and handsome My heart beats like it never gonna stop You are so hurly-burly Your hair so long and curly I just think I'll take a little off the top” George Washington and Martha Sat before a glowing hearth Another soft, Virginia evening drifting by But as the room grew colder She asked him if she looked older And he said, “My dear I cannot tell a lie” And that did it, blam-to-blam That's when all the fun began That's the day when all the men and women went to war Now, the battle of the s**es Runs from Babylon to Texas And they'll fight, fight, fight forevermore Oh, the battle of the s**es Runs from Babylon to Texas And they'll fight, fight, fight forevermor
