Women! Women! Women got the power!
Women! Women! Women got the power!
You may rarely see a woman
At the peak of power anywhere
But you gotta know that
Women are the engine
Making everything run everywhere
Women keep things turnin’
That’s one thing you should be learnin’
Women! Women! Women got the power!
Women! Women! Women got the power!
Dare we hope if women ran things,
Wouldn’t be the mess that we got now?
Poverty and famine,
War and global warming,
Come on, gutsy women show them how!
Women keep things turnin’
That’s one thing you should bw learnin’
Women! Women! Women got the power!
Women! Women! Women got the power!
Women! Women! Women got the power!
Women! Women! Women got the pow-er!
