Now, I'm gon' bottle up and go

High powered womens

That means a woman when she's -

That means a woman when she's high-powered

She can drive her car, she can do most anything

Cause you know, women now make the news.

They make the news, an if you make 'em mad

They blow out your fuse.

And what I mean, they can drive a car

And they can drive the oxen

And do's ev'rything sort-a, like-a mans.

So now, I'm gon' bottle up an go

Bout women cause a grief

Women's whys I sing about it.

I got to bottle up and go

I got to bottle up and go

Any high powered women

Sho' got to bottle up and go

She may be old, ninety year

She ain't to old for to shift dem gears

She got to bottle up an - 'otta do what?

She got to bottle up and go

(Got to bottle up and go)

These high-powered women

Sho' got to bottle up and go

Told my baby, week a-fo' last

The gait she came it's alittle too fast

She got to bottle up an - got do what?

Say it, again

(Got to bottle up and go)

These high-powered women

Sho got to bottle up and go

('Well, alright')

They got to bottle up and go

I got to bottle up and go

These-a high powered women

Sho got to bottle up and go

Told my baby late last night

None a my business, she's doin' me right

She got to bottle up and - got do what?

She got to bottle up and go

(She got to bottle up and go)

These high-powered women

Sho got to bottle up and go

Got to bottle up and go

I got to bottle up and go

These high-powered women

Sho got to bottle up and go

('Sing another one')

Nickel is a nickel

Dime is a dime

Need no girl

If she won't mind

She gotta bottle up - gotta do what?

She got to bottle up and go

(She got to bottle up and go)

These high-powered women

Sho gotta bottle up and go

Got to bottle up and go

I got to bottle up and go

These high-powered women

Sho got to bottle up and go

Nigger and a white man

Playin', seven up

Nigger beat the white man

Scared to pick it up

He had to bottle up - had do what?

He had to bottle up and go

These high-powered women

Sho got to bottle up and go

Jumped in a river

Couldn't get across

Jumped on a alligator

Thought it was a hoss

He had to bottle up - (had do what?)

He had to bottle up and go

He had to bottle up and go

These high-powered women

Sho got to bottle up and go

Got to bottle up and go

I got to bottle up and go

These high-powered women

Sho got to bottle up and go

Mama killed a chicken

Thought it was a duck

Put him on the table

With his legs sticking up

He had to bottle up - (had do what?)

He had to bottle up and go

(He had to bottle up and go)

These high-powered women

Sho got to bottle up and go

Got to bottle up and go

I got to bottle up and go

These high-powered women

Sho got to bottle up and go

'I'll go ahead and lay it on her man'

I'll beat 'em, bop 'em

Pop 'em, pop 'em, pop 'em

Beat-beat-beat-bop

Pop-up, pop 'em, pop 'em

Beat 'em, beat 'em, pop 'em

Beat 'em, pop 'em, pop 'em, pop 'em

Pop-up, pop-up

Pop 'em, pop 'em

You got to bottle up and go

I got to bottle up and go

These high-powered women

Sho got to bottle up and go.
