C Dm F
We were three little girls from school
C F C
One was pretty, one was smart
G
and one was a borderline fool
C Dm
Well she's still good lookin',
F
that woman hasn't slipped a bit
C
The smart one used her head,
F C G
she made her fortune and me,
I cross the border every chance I get
C F
We were the girls of the 50's,
F
la-la, la-la
F
Stoned rock and rollers in the 60's
C
And more than our names got changed
Am F
as the 70's slipped on by
G
Now we're 80's ladies,
C
There ain't been much these ladies ain't tried
C
We've been educated,
Dm F
We got liberated and had complicating
matters with men
C F C C G
Oh, we've said "I do" and
we've signed "I don't" and we've sworn
we'd never do that again
C
Oh, we burned our bras,
Dm
and we burned our dinners and
F
we burned our candles at both ends
C
And we've had some children
F C G
who look just like the way we did back then
Bridge:
Am-G F Am-G
Oh, but we're all grown up now, All grown up,
F GT
None of us could tell you quite how
