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 getWe 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 triedWe'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 againOh 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 howWe 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 triedA my name is Alice
I'm gonna marry Artie
We're gonna sell apples
And live in ArkansasB my name is Betty
I'm gonna marry Bobby
We're gonna sell beans
And live in BrazilC my name is Connie
I'm gonna marry Charlie
We're gonna sell cars
And live in California
