Brotherhood of Man lyrics
by Daniel Radcliffe
[FINCH, spoken]
You see, Wally, even though we're all a part of this cold, corporate setup
Deep down, under our skins there is flesh and blood
We're all brothers
[FINCH]
Now you may join the Elks, my friend
And I may join the Shriners
And other men may carry cards
As members of the Diners
Still others wear a golden key
Or small Greek letter pin
But I have learned there's one great club
That all of us are in
There is a brotherhood of man
A benevolent brotherhood of man
A noble tie that binds
All human hearts and minds
Into one brotherhood of man
Your lifelong membership is free
Keep a-givin' each brother all you can
Oh, aren't you proud to be
In that fraternity
The great big brotherhood of man?
[FINCH, spoken]
So Wally
I want you to remember that before you consider firing Mr. Biggley—
[BIGGLEY, spoken]
Woah, woah, who's considering that?
[FINCH, spoken]
You see, Wally, I know what's on your mind
You'd like to clear out the whole crowd from top to bottom
That's the obvious move
But stop and think
[FINCH]
One man may seem incompetent
Another not make sense
While others look like quite a waste
Of company expense
They need a brother's leadership
So please, don't do them in
Remember mediocrity
Is not a mortal sin
[FINCH & MEN]
They're (We're)
In (In)
The (The)
[FINCH & MEN]
Brotherhood of man
Dedicated to giving all we can
[FINCH]
Oh, aren't you proud to be
In that fraternity
[FINCH & MEN]
The great big brotherhood of man?
[Dance break.]
[WOMPER, spoken]
No kiddin'!
[WOMPER, BIGGLEY & MEN]
Is there really a brotherhood (Yes, you're a brother)
Of man? (You are a brother)
On the level, a brotherhood of man? (Oh, yes! Oh, yes!)
[WOMPER, BIGGLEY & MEN]
A noble tie that binds
All human hearts and minds
[WOMPER & BIGGLEY]
Into one brotherhood of man
[MEN]
Oh, yes!
Your lifelong membership is free
Keep a-givin' each brother all you can
Oh, aren't you proud to be
In that fraternity
The great big brotherhood of man?
[MISS JONES]
Oh, that noble feeling
Feels like bells are pealing
Down with double dealing
Oh, brother!
You, you got me
Me, I got you, you
[MISS JONES & MEN]
Oh, that noble feeling
Feels like bells are pealing
Down with double dealing
Oh, brother!
You, you got me
Me, I got you, you
Oh, that noble feeling
Feels like bells are pealing
Down with double dealing
Oh, brother!
You, you got me
Me, I got you, you
Your lifelong membership is free
Keep a-givin' each brother all you can
Oh, aren't you proud to be
In that fraternity
The great big brotherhood of man, man, man?
