WE WERE THREE LITTLE
GIRLS FROM SCHOOL
ONE WAS PRETTY
ONE WAS SMART
AND ONE WAS A
BORDERLINE FOOL
OH SHE'S STILL
GOOD LOOKING
THAT WOMAN HASN'T
SLIPPED A BIT
AND THE SMART ONE
USED HER HEAD
SHE MADE HER FORTUNE
AND ME I CROSS THE
BORDER EVERY
CHANCE I GET
WE WERE THE GIRLS OF
THE FIFTIES
STONE ROCK AND
ROLLERS IN THE SIXTIES
AND MORE THAN OUR
NAMES GOT CHANGED
AS THE
SEVENTIES SLIPPED
ON BY
NOW WE'RE EIGHTIES LADIES
THERE AIN'T BEEN MUCH
THESE LADIES
AIN'T TRIED
WE'VE BEEN EDUCATED
WE GOT LIBERATED
AND THAT'S COMPLICATED
MATTERS WITH MEN
OH WE'VE SAID I DO AND
WE'VE SIGNED I DON'T
AND WE'VE SWORN WE'D
NEVER DO THAT AGAIN
OH WE'VE BURNED
OUR BRAS
AND WE'VE BURNED OUR
DINNERS
AND WE'VE BURNED OUR
CANDLES AT BOTH ENDS
AND WE'VE GOT SOME
CHILDREN WHO LOOK
JUST LIKE
THE WAY WE DID
BACK THEN
OH BUT WE'RE ALL
GROWN UP NOW
ALL GROWN UP
NONE OF US CAN TELL
YOU QUITE HOW
AND WE WERE THE GIRLS
OF THE FIFTIES
STONE ROCK AND
ROLLERS IN THE SIXTIES
