Lyrics

I can wash forty four pairs of socks
And have 'em hangin' out 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 dipper fulla lard
From the drippings can
Throw it in the skillet, go out and do my shopping
...Be back before it melts in the pan

'Cause I'm a woman..
W-o-m-a-n

I can rub and scrub
'Til this old house is shining like a dime
Feed the 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'm a woman..
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
You know I'm gonna break the spell
If you come to me hungry
I'll fill ya full of grits
And if it's loving you like
Then I'll kiss ya, and give you the shivering 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's ain't nothin' I can't do
I can make a dress out of a feed bag
I can make a man out of 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

That's all
