We’ve marched, voted, signed petitions and marched some more. We’ve even got a pink hat or two with cat ears. This is a light-hearted pushback at expectations and situations every woman on the planet has experienced.
lyrics
I got some platform shoes with some 6 inch heels
And a skin tight dress with some sex appeal
Got a little red shirt with a low cut top
And a whole lotta bling and a bottom crop
I got a paisley skirt with a comfort waist
And a tunic top with a little bit of lace
I got designer jeans and some birkenstocks
I got a Chico tank and chartreuse crocks
Then it’s where’d you get that party dress,
and look at me I’m such a mess,
and where’d you find those perfect shoes,
and look at mine these shoes are used,
and how’d you find the perfect hair,
oh it fell out, well I don’t care
Cats don’t crow, chicks don’t low
Chance don’t know, fat don’t go
News just blows, hell don’t snow
You don’t yodel and I’m not wearing that
How bout I buy you a drink how bout you be a good girl
How bout you just bend low how bout you give it a whirl
How bout you step aside how bout you just sashay
How ‘bout a full time job with some half time pay
Once I had a pretty skirt
and wore my pretty skirt to work
but then there were some overtures
all underscored by perfect jerks
so what’s the use of pretty skirts
and what’s the use of perfect jerks
cuz I’m not gonna wear that
I’m not gonna wear that
Cats don’t crow, chicks don’t low
Chance don’t know, fat don’t go
News just blows, hell don’t snow
You don’t yodel and I’m not wearing that
I got a sprinkle of grey on the top of my head
But the brain inside is still not dead
And if you need some skin to figure what I’m worth
I got an elbow I can show you with an angular curve
But let me tell you where it’s at
Cuz I’m gonna grab my pussy hat,
Then I’ll walk a pretty mile
a pretty mile in pussy hats
party dresses, party smiles
10 million bright pink party hats
I’m gonna wear that
I’m gonna wear that
I’m gonna wear that
