Story Behind The Song

When I perfrom, this is one of my most requested songs--by both women and men. People find the combination of happy music/angry lyrics to be funny.

Song Description

A woman tells us that she knows what she wants and when she wants it: equal pay, respectful treatment, etc. She says that she is, therefore, a "bitch." She does all this while singing and playing a song which, musically, is quite cheerful and upbeat sounding.

Lyrics

The Bitch Song,
copyright 2002, Kristin Kitko

I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch if I know what I want;
I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch if I don't let myself get stepped on;
I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch if I make myself known;
so you'd better get some earplugs 'cuz I've got a microphone.

VERSE:
'Scuze me, that's my butt you're commenting on--
Funny, I don't recall asking
For your opinion on my body;
Get your words off of me now...now!

CHORUS:
I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch...

VERSE:
'Scuze me, I work for your company here;
That's my desk right in the corner.
I make ten thousand less a year
Than my male partner;
Is it because of the bra that I wear?
Pay me equally now...now!

CHORUS:
I'm a bitch...

VERSE:
Gonna say, gonna say, gonna say if you're on my toes.
Like a man, like a man, gonna let the whole world know.
And I'll be labeled a you- know- what by people who are scared,
But I'm gonna speak up anyway 'cuz I don't really care
Cuz I'm a woman, I'm a woman, I'm a woman
And I know what I want;
I'm a woman, I'm a woman and I won't let myself get stepped on
I'm a woman, I'm a woman, I'm a woman, I'm a woman
And I'm making myself known
And I'm inviting all of you to share my micorphone!
