Vera Johnson - Women's Liberation Blues lyrics

Mama said, you got to cook and sew Cause you're a woman Scrub the floors and knead the biscuit dough Cause you're a woman Making biscuit's what you have to know Cause you're a woman Teacher said, it's office work for you Cause you're a woman You will type and take dictation too Cause you're a woman Always see things from the boss's view Cause you're a woman I had status and a salary I was a woman I scorned the sweeper in the factory I was a woman But he was making twice as much as me I was a woman Then I married and the babies came I was a woman So I stayed at home and played the housework game I was a woman And then I started thinking: What a dirty shame! I was a woman They had put me in a pigeon hole I was a woman Just a doll without a mind or soul I was a woman Cast that doll in a supporting role I was a woman They said, I was made from Adam's rib Cause I'm a woman That I was built to rock a baby's crib Cause I'm a woman – Guess I'll go and fight for Women's Lib Cause I'm a woman!
