We were three little girls from school

One was pretty one was smart and one was a borderline fool

But 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 has 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

None of us can tell you quite how

We were the girls of the 50's

A stoned rock and rollers in the 60's

Honey 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
