i can wash out 44 pairs of socks and have ’em hangin out on the line
i can starch iron dozens shirts ‘fore you can count from to 9
i can scoop up a great big dipper full of lard from the drippins can
throw it in the skillet go out do my shopping be back before it melts in the pan
’cause i’m a woman woman 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 at the same time
get all dressed up go out and swing til 4 am and then
lay down at 5 jump up at 6 and start all over again
’cause i’m a woman woman 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 woman i’ll say it again
i can stretch a green black dollar bill from here to kindom come
i can play the numbers pay the bills and still end up with some
i got a twentydollar gold piece says there ain’t nothing i can’t do
i can make a dress out of a feed bag and i can make a man out of you
’cause i’m a woman woman i’ll say it again
’cause i’m a woman woman and that’s all
