There Are Many Types Of Men, But Few, Like Ben The Barbarian, Are Winners

There's a law.. there's a law about men:  There are men who can make it and men who cannot.

There are fish who go swimming and fish that wind up in the pot!

There are men who will study the books till the Judgement Day;  And examine the techniques of the winners galore.
There are men who will practice the rule religiously:  Every day they'll improve just a little more:  And they'll put all their soul behind it;

All their ego, power, drive and will and desire behind it - and they'll throw themselves in.


But they never will win.  They never will win.  They never never never never will win! 

There's a law!  There's a law about men:  There are men who are flabby and men who are thin:  There are fish who are fattish and fish who are trim in the fin.
There are men who will sweat out their days in cabinets; And be pummeled and badgered adn beaten and rolled.  There are men who will sweat out their nights in Turkish baths; They'll buy every reducing maching that is sold.
And they'll live for a week on lemons; And another week on grass and water and crackers and lemons: And lay off the gin.

But they'll never be thin.  They'll never be thin.  They'll never never never never be thin!


"There's a law" from Trouble in Tahiti by Bernstein
