It’s not just a man’s world anymore, honey
It’s a crooked man’s world, my baby
An honest man is never praise worthy
While the crooks and scoundrels are note worthy.

It’s a crooks’ world today, honey
Its cunning under the table dealings, my baby
An honest man is found truly unworthy
While the dishonest enjoy all the glory.

It’s a wicked world out there, honey
It’s so wicked that it’s just about money, my baby
An honest man just can’t bear the agony
While the earth turns around unweary.

It’s not just an honest world anymore, honey
It’s the crooks who gain mere popularity, my baby
An honest man never ever seeks vain glory
While the crooks rule the world without any mercy.

It’s just a rouges’, rascals’ and scoundrels’ world, honey
It’s something you gotta really understand, my baby
An honest man can never survive definitely
While the world completely goes topsy turvy
