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
   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
