Now you may join the Elks my friend
and I may join the Shriners
And other men may carry cards
as members of the Diners
Still others wear a golden key
or small Greek letter pin
But I have learned there's one great club
that all of us are in
There is a brotherhood of man
a benevolent brotherhood of man
a noble tie that binds all human hearts
and minds into one brotherhood of man
Your lifelong membership is free keep
a giving each brother all you can.

Oh aren't you proud to be in that fraternity
the great big brotherhood of man?
So Wally before you consider firing ev'rybody remember
this one man may seem incompetent another
not make sense while others look like quite
a waste of company expense
They need a brother's leadership so
please don't do them in remember
mediocrity is not a mortal sin
they're we're in the brotherhood
of man dedicated to giving all
we can oh aren't you proud to be
in that fraternity the great
big brotherhood of man no kiddin'
Is there really a brotherhood of man
On the level a brotherhood of man?
Oh yes oh yes.

A noble tie that binds all human hearts
and minds into one brotherhood of man oh yes
your lifelong membership is free keep
a giving each brother all you can.
