We were three little girls from school One was pretty, one was smart And one was a borderline fool Well, she's still good lookin' That woman hadn't slipped a bit The smart one used her head She made her fortune And me, I cross the border every chance I get
We were the girls of the 50's Stoned rock and rollers in the 60's And more than our names got changed As the 70's slipped on by Now we're 80's ladies There ain't been much these ladies ain't tried
We've been educated We got liberated And had complicating matters with men Oh, we've said 'I do' And we've signed 'I don't' And we've sworn we'd never do that again Oh, we burned our bras And we burned our dinners And we burned our candles at both ends And we've had some children Who look just like the way we did back then
Oh, but we're all grown up now All grown up But none of us could tell you quite how
