lyrics

Imagine if you thought that I knew
Nearly as much as you
Oh what would the world become
If there was no mansplaining to do

Hey, there’s a cinema down the block
It’s this place where it’s dark on purpose, ad hoc
They play long TV shows, but it’s not episodic
And they do it every day around the clock

Imagine if you thought that I knew
Nearly as much as you
Oh what would the world become
If there was no mansplaining to do

We’re gonna have dinner later
That’s the meal after lunch, and it’s greater
Usually done in the evenings
As the last meal of the day
Unless you’re a content creator..
Then you probably have your meals at weird times due to shoot hours and you may have supper but that’s a whole other conversation for me to introduce you to the concept

Imagine if you thought that I knew
Nearly as much as you
Oh what would the world become
If there was no mansplaining to do

You compliment me for ’such good English’
Funny – since it’s my mother tongue
I implore you to think about the things that come out of your mouth
Before I laugh up a lung

Imagine if you thought that I knew
Nearly as much as you
Oh what would the world become
If there was no mansplaining to do

Imagine if you knew all that I knew
Oh the horror that would ensue
The world would be a better place
If you changed your field of view
