She's as sweet as the honey in the tummy of a big old grizzly bear
He had the grizzly mean temper of the tummy of a honey-less bear
Though she's a delicate flower, she had the power to make a man of the beast

Mama made a man out of Daddy
Daddy made a man out of me

I would've whooped like the whooping crane
Whooped by the whooping cane
After whipping up some trouble around town
Mama, in her wisdom, talked my Daddy into whooping me
With his hand and put the whooping cane down

Though there was tenderness there in that old grizzly bear
She just brought it out for the whole world to see

Mama made a man out of Daddy
Daddy made a man out of me

Yeah, Mama made a man out of Daddy
Daddy made a man out of me
