Liberated Lady 1999 Lyrics - Shel Silverstein

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 ass of a guy whopassed 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 dildo 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 bastard oh 

(She's a liberated lady... 

I say look out she's a liberated lady
