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

Double 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

Double 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

Double 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

Double W O M A N

I'll say it again

'Cause I'm a woman

Double W O M A N

And that's all
