Beauty Is Only Skin Deep
It's What lies beneath That Really Counts
I am woman hear me well,
I'm as talented as hell.
When you see me pass
I'm not travelling second class
"Cause I am woman".
I can hit a golf ball
long and straight
then toss a gourmet dinner
upon your plate,
pound my gavel in a court
hand out justice where it's sought
or head a giant corporation,
with wit and inspritation.
I'm as talented as hell
When you see me pass
I'm not trevelling second class,
"Cause I am woman".
and debate loudly with the best,
gently wipe away a tear,
and patch any hole that may appear,
with a hammer nail and spanner
convert a house into a manor,
to a heart that's bent and broken,
heal with words so softly spoken.
I'm as talented as hell
When you see me pass
I not travelling second class
"Cause I am woman".
I can mingle with the best,
pass any kind of test,
give birth with the kind of ease
that would bring man down to his knees,
I can knit and sew and mend,
design tall builings end to end,
with a minimum of pain,
remove a tumour from a brain.
Yes I am woman hear me well
I'm as talented as hell
When you see me pass
I'm not travelling second class,
"cause I am woman".
I have a black belt in Karate
I can lead a political party,
on any instrument I can tinkle
iron a shirt without a wrinkle
be the sovereign of a nation
a whiz at navigation,
then pilot a Jumbo Jet,
and give my heart to a homeless pet.
Yes I am woman hear me well,
I'm as talented as hell
when you see me pass
I'm not travelling second class
"cause I am woman".
A nuclear physicist I could be
an astronaut making history
a plumber or a nurse,
a grand speaker without rehearse
a barmaid pulling beer
or the mother of the year
a detective fighting crime
or digging coal down in a mine.
Yes I am woman hear me well
I'm as talented as hell
when you see me pass
I'm not travelling second class
" cause I am woman"
I can wield a heavy spade,
as a mechanic I make the grade,
I can form a beautiful bouquet,
plow a field and then toss hay.
There is nothing I can't do
yet I'm a lady through and through,
I have a voice I have a brain,
Need I bother to explain?
That I'm a woman hear me well,
I'm as talented as hell,
When you see me pass
I'm not travelling second class,
because I am woman.
