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 .
