|
I can wash out forty-four pairs of socks |
|
And have them hangin out on the line |
|
I can starch and iron two dozen shirts |
|
Before you can count from one to nine |
|
I can scoop up a great big dipper |
|
Full of lard from the drippin's can |
|
Throw it in the skillet, go out and do my |
|
Shopping and be back before it melts in the pan |
|
'Cause I'm a woman |
|
Double W O M A N |
|
I'll say it again |
|
I can rub and scrub till this old house |
|
Is shinin like a dime |
|
Feed the baby, grease the car and |
|
Powder my face at the same time |
|
Get all dressed up, go out and swing |
|
Till four a.m. and then |
|
Lay down at five, jump up at six |
|
And start all over again |
|
'Cause I'm a woman |
|
Double W O M A N |
|
I'll say it again |
|
If you come to me sickly, you know |
|
I'm gonna make you well |
|
If you come to me hexed up, |
|
You know I'm gonna break the spell |
|
If you come to me hungry, |
|
You know I'm gonna fill you full o' grits |
|
If it's lovin' you're lackin, I'll kiss you |
|
And give you the shiverin fits |
|
'Cause I'm a woman |
|
Double W O M A N |
|
I'll say it again |
|
I can stretch a greenback dollar bill |
|
From here to kingdom come |
|
I can play the numbers, pay my bills |
|
And still end up with some |
|
I got a twenty dollar gold piece says |
|
There ain't nothin I can't do |
|
I can make a dress out of a feed bag |
|
And I can make a man out of you |
|
'Cause I'm a woman |
|
Double W O M A N |
|
I'll say it again |
|
'Cause I'm a woman |
|
Double W O M A N |
|
And that's all |
