80's Ladies (1987)
We were three little girls from school
One was pretty, one was smart, and one was a borderline fool
Was she still good looking? 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 fifties, (la, la, la, la)
Stoned rock and rollers in the sixties
And more than our names got changed as the seventies slipped on by
Now we're eighties ladies, there ain't been much these ladies ain't tried

We got educated, we got liberated, and that's complicating matters with men
Oh we said I Do and we signed our don't and we swore 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 got some children who look just like the way we did back then


Trouble is we're all grown up now, all gown up, none of us can tell you just how

We were the girls of the fifties, (la, la, la, la)
Stoned rock and rollers in the sixties
Honey, more than our names got changed as the seventies slipped on by
Now we're eighties ladies, there ain't been much these ladies ain't tried

A, my name is Alice, I'm gonna marry Artie
We're gonna sell apples and live in Arkansas
B, my name is Betty, I'm gonna marry Bobby
We're gonna sell beans and live in Boise
C, my name is Connie, I'm gonna marry Charlie
We're gonna sell cars and live in California
