I'm A Woman
I can wash out 44 pairs of socks and have 'em hangin out on the lineI can starch & iron 2 dozens shirts 'fore you can count from 1 to 9I can scoop up a great big dipper full of lard from the drippins canThrow it in the skillet, go out & do my shopping, be back before it melts in the pan'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it againI can rub & scrub this old house til it's shinin like a dime Feed the baby, grease the car, & powder my face at the same timeGet all dressed up, go out and swing til 4 a.m. and then Lay down at 5, jump up at 6, and start all over again 'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again If you come to me sickly you know I'm gonna make you wellIf you come to me all hexed up you know I'm gonna break the spellIf you come to me hungry you know I'm gonna fill you full of gritsIf it's lovin you're likin, I'll kiss you and give you the shiverin' fits'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again I can stretch! a green black dollar bill from here to kindom come!I can play the numbers pay the bills and still end up with some!I got a twenty-dollar gold piece says there ain't nothing I can't doI can make a dress out of a feed bag and I can make a man out of you'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again 'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, and that's all. From Letras Mania
