Let us put man and woman together
And see which one is smarter
Some say man, but I say no
The woman got the man like a puppet show
It ain't me, it's the people that say
The men are leadin' the women astray
But I say that the women today
Are smarter than man in every way

A song originally written and performed by Harry Belafonte, it was revisited some decades later by the Grateful Dead and has been covered fairly extensively since then. My favorite version is the zydeco cover by C.J. Chenier and the Red Hot Louisiana Band. It's kind of ironic that the two artists who made this song big were male, but I guess it only goes to show.
