We
were three little girls from school
One was pretty, one was smart,
and one was a borderline fool
Well she's still good looking,
that woman hadn't slipped a bit
The smart one used her head,
she made her fortune
And me, crossed the border
every chance I'd get
We were the girls of the fifties
Stone -rockin' rollers in the sixties
And more than our names got changed
As the seventies slipped on by
Now, we're 80s ladies
There ain't been much these ladies
ain't tried
We've educated, got liberated,
and discomplicate matters with men
Oh, we've said I do, and we've signed I don't,
and we swore we'd never do that again
Oh, we've burned our bras and
we've burned our dinners
And we've burned our
candles at both ends
And we've got some children who look
just like the way we did back then
Oh, but we're all grown
up now
Oh, no, none of us can tell you quite how
We were the girls
of the fifties
Stoned rock and rollers in the sixties
Honey, more than our names got changed
As the seventies slipped on by
Now we're eighties ladies
Ain't been much these ladies
ain't tried
