well i can wash out fortyfour pairs of socks
and hang them on the line
i can starch and iron two dozen shirts
before you can count from one to nine

full of lard from the drippin’s can
throw it in the skillet do my shopping
and be back before it melts in the pan
cause i’m a woman

shines just like a dime
feed the baby grease the car and
powder my nose at the same time

go out and swing till five am and then
jump in bed at five get up at six
and start all over again
cause i’m a woman
woman
let me tell you again

if you come to me all hexed up

if you come to me hungry

if it’s lovin’ you want i can kiss
and give you the shiverin fits
