I can wash out forty-four pairs of socks   And have them hangin' out on the line   I can starch and iron two dozen shirts   Before you can count from one to nine   I can scoop up a great big dipper    Full of lard from the drippin's can   Throw it in the skillet, go out and do my   Shopping and 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 and scrub till this old house    Is shinin' like a dime   Feed the baby, grease the car and   Powder my face at the same time.   Get all dressed up, go out and swing   Till four a.m. and then   Lay down at five, jump up at six   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 hexed up,   You know I'm gonna break the spell   If you come to me hungry,    You know I'm gonna fill you full o' grits   If it's lovin' you're lackin', I'll kiss you   And give you the shiverin' fits.   'Cause I'm a woman   W-O-M-A-N   I'll say it again      I can stretch a greenback dollar bill   From here to kingdom come   I can play the numbers, pay my bills   And still end up with some   I got a twenty dollar gold piece says   There ain't nothin' 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
