Brotherhood of Man

[FINCH, spoken]
Now wait a minute, Wally
Before you go making any hasty decisions
I'd like to say a few words

[WOMPER, spoken]
About what?

[FINCH, spoken]
Humanity
You see, even though we're all part of the cold corporate setup
Deep down underneath our skins there is flesh and blood
We're all brothers

[BIGGLEY, spoken]
Some of us are uncles

[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
That great big brotherhood of man?

[FINCH, spoken]
So Wally
I want you to remember that before you consider firing Mr. Biggley

[BIGGLEY, spoken]
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 of them from top to bottom
That's the obvious choice
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?

[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?

[MEN]
Oh, yes! Oh, yes!
A noble tie that binds
All human hearts and minds

[WOMPER & MEN]
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've got me
Me, I've got you
Sweet butter
Shoo-buh-ye-duh-ye-duh-ba-ya-ba hoo, hee

[MISS JONES, spoken]
Oh no, here

[MEN, spoken]
