  • Intro: [start a capella]

  • Pop's tangled beard was long and gray,
  • His sight was almost gone.

  • He said, 'In my life, I've learned some things
  • That I should probably pass along.

  • [pause,increase tempo quite a bit,add drums etc]

  • Verse 1:

  • You'll learn to drink, and throw a punch,
  • And party until three;

  • Then you'll find love, and take a wife,
  • And raise a family.

  • But before you start your winding path,
  • And learn to work the land,

  • You need to pause [pause] and take
  • The Measure of a Man.'

  • Refrain :

  • Measure of a Man,
  • You'll learn the things you need to know,
  • From the Measure, the Measure of a Man.

  • [stronger]

  • Whether he's the President,
  • Or just livin' off the land -

  • [stronger still]

  • You'll learn the things you need to know,
  • From the Measure of a Man.

  • Verse 2:

  • A man should look straight in your eyes,
  • As he offers you his hand.

  • And his handshake should be firm and strong,
  • That's the Measure of a Man.

  • When your truck breaks down along the road,
  • And your hope is almost gone,

  • He'd be the one to stop and say
  • He'll gladly drive you home.

  • Refrain:
  • '
  • Measure of a Man,
  • You'll learn the things you need to know,
  • From the Measure of a Man.

  • [stronger]

  • Whether he's the President,
  • Or just livin' off the land -

  • [stronger still]

  • You'll learn the things you need to know,
  • From the Measure, the Measure of a Man.

  • Verse 3:

  • He quickly earns the crowd's respect
  • When he walks into a room;

  • Whether its in an old folks home
  • Or a children's Sunday school.

  • He's the kind of man you'd like to have,
  • Leading your platoon,

  • Because he'll always get you there,
  • And bring you home again.

  • Refrain:

  • That's the Measure of a Man.

  • Instrumental

  • You'll learn the things you need to know,
  • From the Measure of a Man.

  • [Crank it up]

  • Whether he's the President,
  • Or just livin' off the land -
  • You'll learn the things you need to know [hold 'know'],

  • [Calm it]

  • From the Measure of a Man.
  • The Measure of a Man.
