Well there used to be a time when a man was a king   To work for a man was a woman's only dream   Everything he did was perfectly alright   He didn't have to worry about fussin' and fightin'      It don't happen no more   That was a long time ago   It's a pitiful shame   How the world has changed      There used to be a time when a woman couldn't smoke   There used to be a time when a woman couldn't vote   She used to stay at home while the man went out to play   She was satisfied with life any old way      It don't happen no more   That was a long time ago   It's a pitiful shame   How the world has changed   Well, well      There used to be a time when a woman couldn't cook   There used to be a time she didn't worry about her looks   She used to sip on Sassafrass, she didn't even drink   She didn't try to tell her man how to think      It don't happen no more   That was a long time ago, yeah   It's a pitiful shame   How the world has changed   Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah      It don't happen no more   That was a long time ago   It's a pitiful shame   How the world has changed      It don't happen no more   That was a long time ago   It's a pitiful shame   How the world has changed
