Shel Silverstein - Liberated Lady 1999 lyrics

She's a liberated lady and she's looking out for herself And she don't need your protection and she does not want your help And if you're lookin' for some pretty little flower You better go look somewhere else cause I warn you she's a liberated lady She got off work at the foundry she was a feelin' kinda beat On the bus she had to stand and let some fellah have her seat And then she pinched the a** of a guy whopa**ed her walkin' down the street When he called a cop she didn't quite understand When she stopped off on the corner for her double shot of rye When some guy lit her cigarette she punched him in the eye And then he kicked her in the balls it was enough to make her cry But she stood there and she took it like a man (She's a liberated lady and she smokes them big cigars You're gonna find her drinkin' boilermakers at the corner bar And in thirty seconds flat she'll change a flat tire on your car Look out she's a liberated lady) She come home to find her darlin' husband cryin' in distress She says why ain't supper ready and why is this house a mess He said the kids have drove me crazy and I need a brand new dress And how come you don't ever take me dancin' She sat down to smoke her pipe and she thought back to the time When she was satin silk and lace with nothin' on her mind But now she's gotta mow the lawn and gotta pay the bills on time And pray to Mrs God she don't get drafted Oh she got into bed that evenin' and she strapped her dil*o on Climb on top of him and said okay let's get it on He said you know I've got my period and my headache isn't gone And he fell asleep the chauvinistic ba*tard oh (She's a liberated lady... I say look out she's a liberated lady
