Girls, have you got the kind of man everyone looks up to?
Well, if you don't, listen. I'll tell you what to do.
Get your man, take him by the hand, and bring him here to me;
And I'm going to tell you about equal opportunity.

There was a time when the world was fickle
And it may have been hard to succeed
But times have changed now, and school and training
Is all you really need

It doesn't matter who you may be
Everyone's equal with the same opportunity, yes

CHORUS:
Things are changing for the better
Things are changing for the better
Now's the time for you to better yourself

Ooh
Life's got problems, but you can make it
And I'm going to tell you why
Just like the early bird that catches the worm,
You gotta get up, go out, and try

Your race or color won't stand in your way
Don't wait for tomorrow, today is your day, yes

CHORUS

Good jobs are out there
(Things are changing)
Just waiting to be found.
(Things are changing)
They won't come to you, oh no.
You gotta go out and look around.

Your race or color won't stand in your way
Don't wait for tomorrow, today is your day, oh

CHORUS

I said

Things are changing for the better
Things are changing for the better
