Free, male, and twenty-one

Free, male, and twenty-one

It's not enough to be twenty-one and free

It's not the same as make and twenty-one



Free, male, and twenty-one

This is such a fine distinction

The career that we've begun

I just made twenty-one

I'm old enough to run

For congressman or clerk of the public works

Or dogcatcher or something just as dumb

If I should choose to run



I make no exaggeration

Just a statement of the facts

Now I'm second generation

And I'm manly to the max

And no one can decree

Just who I have to be

The choice is up to me

And if I could be anything, I'd be



Male and twenty-one

It's nice to be a man

I use it all I can



I never had a choice for a higher voice

But I have to say I'm glad to be a man

Since this is what I am

Sigmund Freud may have a crisis

With his own identity

But there's nothing wrong with me

Because I enjoy being a boy

And all that it will say upon my resume'



Free, male, and twenty-one

Free, male, and twenty-one

Free, male, and twenty-one

Free, male, and twenty-one



If I could change

Change anything, everything

Everything in the world

Then I would make

Half of the world

Free, male, and twenty-one

Free, male, and twenty-one

Free, male, and twenty-one



And I don't believe in heaven

What a letdown it would be

And I hope there's not a hell

But there must be a God 'cause He made me

Free, male, and twenty-one

There's got to be a God 'cause He made me

Male and twenty-one

Free, male, and twenty-one
