79 Cents (The Meow Song) |
| Whether she’s rich |
| Or toiling in a ditch |
| No matter the color of her collar |
| The heart of your home |
| Works her fingers to the bone |
| For 79 cents to your dollar |
| 79 cents, 79 cents |
| Woah, oh |
| Hey hey, it’s alright it’s okay |
| It’s 79 cents to your dollar |
| But if her skin is brown |
| Her pay goes down |
| It’s a nickel to the white man’s dime |
| But don’t complain |
| Or they’ll call you insane |
| People call me «left-wing swine» |
| Left-wing swine, left-wing swine |
| Woah, oh |
| Hey hey, it’s alright it’s okay |
| Where people call me left-wing swine |
| And don’t forget |
| Mama gets less |
| It’s the motherhood penalty |
| With a baby on her hip |
| Office phone against her lip |
| For a raise she’ll never see |
| She’ll never see, she’ll never see |
| Woah, oh |
| Hey hey, it’s alright it’s okay |
| It’s a raise she’ll never see |
| «Love it or leave it» |
| Ad nauseam is repeated |
| With fevered regurgitation |
| It means «Bend over and take it |
| If you don’t like it fake it |
| For the sake of the male population» |
| For the male population, the male population |
| Woah, oh |
| Hey hey, it’s alright it’s okay |
| It’s the great the male population |
| So ladies, think twice |
| If Uncle Sams seems nice |
| You say he doesn’t mean it now |
| But Mr. Status Quo |
| Oh, don’t you know |
| He’s grabbing us right in the «meow» |
| Right in the «meow», right in the «meow» |
| Woah, oh |
| Hey hey, it’s alright it’s okay |
| He’s grabbing us right in the «meow» |
