80?s Ladies
By K.T. Oslin
This is pretty close?some minor changes maybe in the future.
C Dm F
We were three little girls from school
C F C G
One was pretty, one was smart and one was a borderline fool
C Dm F
Well she's still good lookin', that woman hasn?t slipped a bit
C F C G
The smart one used her head, she made her fortune and me, I cross the border every chance I get
[Chorus]
C F
We were the girls of the 50's, la-la, la-la
F
Stoned rock and rollers in the 60's
C Am F
And more than our names got changed as the 70?s slipped on by
G C
Now we're 80's ladies, There ain't been much these ladies ain't tried
C Dm F
We've been educated, We got liberated and had complicating matters with men
C F C C G
Oh, we've said "I do" and we've signed "I don't" and we've sworn we'd never do that again
C Dm F
Oh, we burned our bras, and we burned our dinners and we burned our candles at both ends
C F C G
And we've had some children who look just like the way we did back then
[Bridge]
Am-G F Am-G
Oh, but we're all grown up now, All grown up,
F GT
None of us could tell you quite how
[Chorus]
C
A- my name is Alice
Am7
I'm gonna marry Artie
F
We're gonna sell apples
G
And live in Arkansas
C
B- my name is Betty
Am7
I'm gonna marry Bobby
F
We're gonna sell beans
G
And live in Brazil
C
C- my name is Connie
Am7
I'm gonna marry Charlie

We're gonna sell cars

And live in California
