Lyrics I'm A Woman - Peggy Lee

I'm A Woman

I can wash out 44 pairs of socks and have 'em hanging out on the line
I can starch &iron 2 dozens shirts 'fore you can count from 1 to 9
I can scoop up a great big dipper full of lard from the drippings can
Throw it in the skillet, go out &do my shopping, be back before it melts in the
pan
'Cause I’m a woman!
W-O-M-A-N, I’ll say it again
I can rub &scrub this old house til it’s shining like a dime
Feed the baby, grease the car, &powder my face at the same time
Get all dressed up, go out and swing til 4 a.m. and then
Lay down at 5, jump up at 6, and start all over again
'Cause I’m a woman!
W-O-M-A-N, I’ll say it again
If you come to me sickly you know I’m gonna make you well
If you come to me all hexed up you know I’m gonna break the spell
If you come to me hungry you know I’m gonna fill you full of grits
If it’s loving you’re liking, I’ll kiss you and give you the shivering fits
'Cause I’m a woman!
W-O-M-A-N, I’ll say it again
I can stretch!
a green black dollar bill from here to kingdom come!
I can play the numbers pay the bills and still end up with some!
I got a twenty-dollar gold piece says there ain’t nothing I can’t do
I can make a dress out of a feed bag and I can make a man out of you
'Cause I’m a woman!
W-O-M-A-N, I’ll say it again
'Cause I’m a woman!
W-O-M-A-N, and that’s all.
