Now there was a time
when we used to say
That behind
every great man
there had to be
a great woman
Well now in these
times of change
I know that it's
no longer true
So we're coming out
of the kitchen
'Cos there's something
we forgot to say to you
It's that sisters
are doin' it for themselves
Standing on our
own two feet
and ringing on
their own bells
I said, sisters are doin' it
for themselves
This is a song
to celebrate
The conscious liberation
of the female state
Mothers daughters
and their daughters too
Woman to woman,
we're singing with you
The inferior sex,
has had a new experience
We've got doctors,
lawyers and
politicians too
Everybody,
take a look around
Can you see,
can you see,
can you see
There's a woman
right next to you
We said sisters
are doin' it for themselves
Standing on
our own two feet
and ringing on
their own bells
Sisters are doin' it
for themselves
We ain't making stories
We ain't making plans
Don't you know that
a man still loves a woman
And a woman,
still loves a man,
just the same
Sisters are doin' it for
themselves
Hey there was a time
Oh when they used to say
That behind
every great man
there had to be
a great woman
Well in these
times of change
I know that it's
no longer true
So we're coming
out of the kitchen
'Cos there's something
we forgot to say to you
It's that sisters are doin' it
for themselves
Standing on our
own two feet
and ringing on
their own bells
We said,
sisters are doin' it
for themselves
