Lems Kristin - Talkin Gender Neutral Blues lyrics

I was walkin down the street one day Reading the signs that pa**ed my way And after a while I started to see That none of those words referred to me... Good will towards men, all men are created equal Praise Him! Well I asked some friends if they agreed That they felt left out in the things they read They told me yes, and added some more And soon we all felt pretty sore You got your Congressman, spaceman, sideman.... But I never heard a no house husband! Well some men came by and a fight began to grow: "You girls are so dumb you just don't know These here are called "generic words" They're meant to include both the bees and the birds." Well gee fellas, how am I supposed to know? I certainly don't feel included! Ok said I, if that's so true I'll just use "woman" to cover the two "It don't make a difference to us," they said "If you wanna use woman, go right ahead." I said, thanks, that's really sisterly of you Glad to see you believe in sportswomanship! "Now hold your horses," they started to cry I think I'll hold my mares, said I "You're leavin all of us guys behind." Why no, we're all part of womankind So don't fret friends, take it like a woman You'll get used to it, just like we all did! Words and music by Kristin Lems c MCMLXXIX Kleine Ding Music (BMI
