I'm A Woman

Well, I can wash out forty four pairs of socks
And have 'em hanging 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 dip full of lard
From the drippings can
Throw it in the skillet, go out, do the shopping
And be back before it melts in the pan

'Cause I'm a woman, W O M A N
I'll say it again, hey
W O M A N

I can rub and scrub
This ol' house until it's shining like a dime
Feed my baby, grease the car and
Powder my face at the same time
Get all dressed up, go out
And swing till 4 AM and then
Lay down at five, jump up at 6
And start all over again

'Cause I am a woman, W O M A N
I'll say it again
W O M A N

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
You know if you come to me hungry
I'm gonna fill you full of grits
But if it's loving you're lacking
I'll kiss you and give you the shivering fits

'Cause I'm a woman

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
And I got a twenty dollar gold piece
Says there's nothing that I can't do
I can make a dress out of a feed bag
And make a man out of you

Woman, woman
'Cause I'm a woman
W O M A N, woman
