H O M Spells Man

The Spanish say hombre
The French say homme
H O M spells man
No matter where you're from
No matter where you're from

If you kill a man
In a courtroom you'll be tried
The crime you will be charged with
Is homicide

Chimps and gorillas
Have human-like features
We call them hominids
They're human-like creatures

A man who stays cheerful
In a lousy economy
Is a good-natured fellow
A model of bonhomie

Did I ever tell you
About my Uncle Gus?
He's only four foot six
He's a homunculus

The Spanish say hombre
The French say homme
H O M spells man
No matter where you're from
No matter where you're from
