Some people say now,
Living in a joke, ha,
People said, yes, they did,
Country's going up in smoke

I got a message,
They need to know,
Gotta let a woman be a woman,
And let a man be a man,
Gotta let a woman be a woman,
And let a man be a man

Listen,
Some people call me,
Broadway Tramp now,
People said, yes, they did
I had no place to stay

Talking all around now,
Down on Broadway

Gotta let a woman be a woman,
And let a man be a man, ha,
Gotta let a woman be a woman,
And let a man be a man

Some people don't like,
The way Sally walks

Hey fellows,
Do you see anything wrong with Sally's walk?

Gotta let a woman be a woman,
And let a man be a man,
Gotta let a woman be a woman,
And let a man be a man

Leave me alone, now
Leave me alone

Yeah, yeah,
Down on Broadway,
Gotta let a woman be a woman,
Yeah, yeah,
Broadway Tramp now,
People say, say, say, say,
Have no place to stay

Gotta let a woman be a woman,
And let a man be a man
