I'm A Woman

Songwriters: Leiber, Jerry; Stoller, Mike;

I can wash forty four pairs of socks
And have 'em hanging out on the line
I can starch and iron two dozen shirts
'Fore you can count from one to nine

I can slip up a great big dip up of lard
From a drippings can
Throw it in the skillet, 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 house is shines just like a dime
Feed the baby, grease the car
And powder my nose at the same time

Get all dressed up
Go out swing till 4 A.M and then
Lay down at five, jump 'til 6
And start all over again

'Cause I'm a woman
W O M A N

If you come to me sick leave
You know I'm gonna make you well
If you come to me, hexed up
You know I'm gonna break the spell

And if you come to me hungry
I'll feed ya full of my grits
If it's loving you want
I can kiss you and give you the shivering fits

'Cause I'm a woman
W O M A N
Say it again

I got a twenty dollar gold piece
Says there's nothing that I can't do
I can make a dress out of feeding sacks
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
