80's Ladies

We were three little girls from school

One was pretty, one was smart

And one was a borderline fool

Well she's still good lookin' that woman hadn't slipped a bit

The smart one used her head, she made her fortune

And me, I cross the border every chance I get

We were the girls of the 50's

Stoned rock and rollers in the 60's

And more than our names got changed

As the 70's slipped on by

Now we're 80's ladies

There ain't been much these ladies ain't tried

We've been educated

We got liberated

And has complicating matters with men

Oh, we've said, "I do"

And we've signed "I don't"

And we've sworn we'd never do that again

Oh, we burned our bras

And we burned our dinners

And we burned our candles at both ends

And we've had some children

Who look just like the way

We did back then

Oh, but we're all grown up now

All grown up

But none of us could tell you quite how

We were the girls of the 50's

Stoned rock and rollers in the 60's

Honey, more than our names got changed

As the 70's slipped on by

Now we're 80's ladies

There ain't been much these ladies ain't tried
