Now there was a time when they used to say
|
That behind every great man
|
There had to be a great woman
|
But in these times of change
|
You know that it’s no longer true
|
So we’re comin' out of the kitchen
|
Cos there’s somethin' we forgot to say to you
|
We say
|
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
|
Standin' on their own two feet
|
And ringin' on their own bells
|
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
|
Now this is a song to celebrate
|
The conscious liberation of the female state
|
Mothers, daughters and their daughters too
|
Woman to woman
|
We’re singin' with you
|
The «inferior sex» has got a new exterior
|
We got doctors, lawyers, politicians too
|
Everybody take a look around
|
Can you see, can you see, can you see
|
There’s a woman right next to you
|
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
|
Standin' on their own two feet
|
And ringin' on their own bells
|
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
|
Oh we ain’t makin' stories
|
No, we ain’t makin' plans
|
Don’t ya know that a man still loves a woman
|
And a woman still loves a man
|
Now there was a time (there was a time)
|
When we used to say (when we used to say)
|
That behind every great man
|
There has to be a great woman
|
Well in these times of change
|
You know that it is no longer true
|
So we’re comin' out of the kitchen
|
Cos there’s somethin' we forgot to say to you
|
And that’s
|
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
|
Standin' on their own two feet
|
And ringin' on their own bells
|
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
|
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
|
(Doin it, doin it, do-doin' it, doin' it)
|
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
|
(All of my sisters, all of my sisters)
|
Sisters are doin' it for themselves |
