A Man’s Gotta Do (Reprise)
[Mayor Dobbs]
Well a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do
When a man's gotta do what he's got to
A man can't be fooled
Can't be played and
Can't be schooled
Can't be made to follow rules they say he ought to
A man must provide for his family
Pave the way for success
A man must provide for his family
And ensure their happiness
I won't be duped your young mother is confused
To imagine she can use my son
I won't let anybody stand in the way of the plans that I made
Not anyone

A man must engage his backbone
Stand up straight and strong
A man must engage his backbone
And right what has gone wrong

A man's gotta do
What a man's gotta do
When a man's gotta do
What he's got to

I won't let anybody stand in the way
Of the plans that I made

A man must protect his family
Shield them from all pain
A man must protect his family
And preserve his good name!
