Lyrics
HERE?S TO THE WOMEN c. 1983 Sally Fingerett
Here?s to the women who raised me kindly
Sparred the rod and spoiled my blindly
Here?s to the women who gave me soul
Great gosh?tall mighty they should only know
What I?m doing, when I?m doing, what I do.
Here?s to the women who gave me grace
Style and beauty and a virgin?s face
Here?s to the virgins who come and go
Great gosh?tall mighty they should only know
What I?m doing, when I?m doing, what I do.
It don?t matter what I do
It don?t matter who I do it to
Cause I don?t stop till I?m through
With what I?m doing
When I?m doing what I do.
Here?s to the boy, my first lover
Said I could sing like no other
I?d be good enough for the Ted Mack show
Great gosh?tall mighty he should only know
What I?m doing, when I?m doing what I do.
Here?s to the man who calls me sweety
He?s big and strong, eats his Wheaties
He loves the way I sing and dance
No other woman stands a chance
When I?m doing, when I?m doing what I do.
