Dan Bern - Chick Singers lyrics

Well this bald headed girl I know sent me A tape of Björk and Courtney Love And PJ Harvey, called it "Brilliant Women" I put it in my car Heard it all the way down to the coast Normally if left to my own devices I don't hear chich singers much I guess it's guys I hear the most Sometimes these days don't it seem like It's enough for girls to love a girl Or use the f word prominently Masturbate in public Or learn guitar tied up to a post I thought of all this hearing Björk And Courtney Love and PJ Harvey In my car driving to the coast Tori Amos, Liz Phair Sinead O'Connor, Suzanne Vega Jill Sobule, Melissa Etheridge Tracy Chapman, Ani Difranco Michelle Shocked, everyone of them has Something kind of special that I like But every now and then while listening to them I feel like when we were kids I pulled their hair or stole their bike These days it seems like there's a lot of girls Who sing and some of them are good And some of them are not But it's always kind of cool that Moment when they first step to the mic If I was a girl I could sing real high And also then I'd know What having breasts would be like Chick singers Chick singers Chick singers I started thinking 'bout Kate Bush, Patsy Cline Billy Holiday, Janis Joplin Bessie Smith, Patti Smith Annie Lennox, Chrissie Hynde And Bonnie Raitt, seems like There's an awful lot of women In whose honor I would like to raise my gla** to in a toast Some of them are still alive And some I hear their voices like a ghost Maybe next Thursday I'll throw a party And invite every woman that ever sang a song Oh, this would be a party that I think I would like to be the host Thanks to the bald headed girl I know Whose tape of Björk and Courtney Love And PJ Harvey I heard driving to the coast Chick singers Chick singers Chick singers
