Lyrics

Verse
She's putting on her shin guards, lacing up her cleats
She never wears high heals, on her beautiful flat feet
Her hair's back in a ponytail, and her skin is cinamon brown
Her arms and legs have muscles, oh, she doesn't mess around:

Chorus
She's a Get Real Girl (get real), she's happy and secure
She was made to play sports, she's anything but demure!
She's a Get Real Girl (get real), she has ankles that bend!
and if I had her when I was little I would make her Barbi's friend.

Verse
If Gabi had a voicebox, you'd never hear her say:
"Let's go shopping," or "I wonder what Ken?s doing today"
She doesn't have a closet that she tries to fill with clothes
Gabi has a passport, and she's always on the go!

Chorus
She's a Get Real Girl (get real), she's happy and secure
She was made to play sports, she's anything but demure!
She's a Get Real Girl (get real), she has ankles that bend!
and if I had her when I was little I would make her Barbi's friend.

Bridge
Of course, Gabi could kick Barbi's ass-- if she wanted to
It'd be "one for the Real Girls" and the plastic girls would lose.
But, pull the string on her back, and Gabi will explain:
"Barbi?s just a capitalist construction of female gender roles--
Barbi's not to blame!"

Chorus
She's a Get Real Girl (get real), she's smart and fun
She's a friend to all, and an enemy to none!
She's a Get Real Girl (get real), she has ankles that bend!
and if I had her when I was little I would make her Barbi's friend.
