Bee Gees

Songwriter: Barry Gibb

Producer: Nat Kipner

When I was just a little boy, when I didn't know
My daddy put me on his knee and showed me the way to go
He said "a woman will do her best to make a fool out of you
So be a man and stand the test and see what you can do"

I'm glad I am born a man
I'm glad I am born a man

If you got what it takes my boy
You can always choose
Work it out before it's too late my boy
Make sure you never lose

I'm glad I am born a man
I'm glad I am born a man

Born a man...

Ev'ry woman wants her man to live and learn on her land
Where I go, baby you go
Arrangement, man and wife

I'm glad I am born a man
I'm glad I am born a man

Born a man...

The three Gibb brothers were very close as children and spent most of their time together. Barry was born in 1946, and his twin brothers Maurice and Robin were born in 1949. Together, they went on to become one of the most popular bands of the 1970s.

The Bee Gees have sold more than 220 million records worldwide, and functioned as a group almost continuously from 1958 to 2003, when Maurice Gibb suddenly died during a coma.
