Song Lyrics

I can wash out 44 pairs of socks & have 'em hangin out on the line
I can starch & iron 2 dozen shirts 'fore you can count from 1 to 9
I can scoop up a great big dipper full of lard from the drippins
Can go out & do my shoppin be back before it melts in the pan

'Cause I'm a woman, w.o.m.a.n.,
I'll say it again I can rub & scrub this old house til it's shinin' like a dime
Feed the baby, grease the car, & powder my face all 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, & 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 well if you come to me all hexed up you know

I'm gonna break the spell if you come to me hungry
You know I'm gonna fill you full of grits
If 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 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 outta 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.
