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 hasn'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 '50s
Stone rock and rollers in the '60s
And more than our names got changed
As the '70s slipped on by.
Now we're '80s ladies.
There ain't been much these ladies ain't tried
We've been educated, we got liberated
And that's 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 '50s
Stone rock and rollers in the '60s
And more than our names got changed
As the '70s slipped on by.
Now we're '80s ladies.
There ain't been much these ladies ain't tried
A- my name is Alice
I'm gonna marry Artie
We're gonna sell apples
And live in Arkansas
B- my name is Betty
I'm gonna marry Bobby
We're gonna sell beans
And live in Brazil
C- my name is Connie
I'm gonna marry Charlie
We're gonna sell cars
And live in California
