So excited, this is great!
Now there was a time
When we used to say-ay
That behind every great man
There had to be a great woman
Oh, times have changed
You know it's no longer true
We're comin' out of the kitchen
'Cause there's something we've forgot to say to you!
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Oh, yeah!
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringing on their own bells
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Now this is a song
To celebrate
The conscious liberation
Of the female state
Mama and her daughter
And all of their daughters too
Woman to woman
We're all singing along with you
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringing on their own bells
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
We ain't makin' stories
No, we ain't layin' plans
A man still loves a woman
And a woman still loves a man, yeah!
(guitar solo)
This is incredible female power!
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
The inferior sex
Has got a new exterior
We got doctors, lawyers
And politicians, too, yeah!
Hey now, everybody
Take a look around!
Can you see, can you see, can you see me?
There's a woman standin' right next to you!
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringing on their own bells
Aunt Patty, Aunt Selma, come sing!
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Yeah!
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringing on their own bells
Oh yeah!
Sisters are doin' it (doin' it, doin' it, doin' it doin' it, baby!) for themselves
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Ooh! Ooh! Yeah!
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Yeah! Yeah!
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Do it by myself!
