Saturday night and I’m lettin loose Sparkly dress on with my cowboy boots My hair’s super big - got my nails did Sipping on a tinnie on the train to London Bridge Working like a mutha from Monday to Friday Got a babysitter now I’m ready to slay Off to the pub then on to the club Tell that fella over there, baby hold my cup I’m not heading for the dance floor I don’t like to strut my stuff If you wanna find me And my Dorisses too We’ll be hanging out In the ladies loo In the ladies We’re hanging out In the ladies Put the world to rights In the ladies Mending broken hearts I just made some new best friends Fellas wonder what we’re doing in the loo Plotting and scheming and having a poo Making a face Taking up space Baby, the ladies is a happening place! They wonder why it takes so long to have a wee We’re having a party in the WC Making a choice, despair or rejoice It’s only in the ladies we can hear our voices I’m not heading for the dance floor I don’t like to strut my stuff If you wanna find me And my Dorisses too We’ll be hanging out In the ladies loo In the ladies We’re hanging out In the ladies Put the world to rights In the ladies Mending broken hearts I just made some new best friends In the ladies It’s gender-inclusive In the ladies In the club in the ladies In the ladies With my new best friends Honey hold my drink cos I’ll be a while I’m not heading for the dance floor I don’t like to strut my stuff If you wanna find me And my Dorisses too We’ll be hanging out In the ladies loo In the ladies That’s where it’s at In the ladies That’s where it’s at In the ladies That’s where it’s at

Wonderwomen 02:07
Panic on the school run Kids are starting fights Cat piss on the homework Pants outside my tights And I forgot to brush my teeth And the baby's nappy smells But we make it to the gates And I'm saved by the bell Superwoman! Wonderwoman! Everywoman! You're doing fine! Working through my lunch break And I dream of 9 to 5 But my boss is on my back So I do 9 to 9 And I'm working in the evening And I'm working on the train While my boss is on the golf course Working on his game Superwoman! Wonderwoman! Everywoman! You're doing fine! Superwoman in the kitchen Battling teatime Wonder Woman in the boardroom Working overtime Why live beyond your powers Trying so hard to fly? You don't need to be a hero Cos you're doing fine Superwoman! Wonderwoman! Everywoman! You're doing fine!

I never knew it was Gordon The guy who came from Morden His face was cute and handsome So that's when we began some Adventure most romantic Impassioned snogging antics He said I wasn't common His chat-up lines were rotten We rented an apartment And sat there in the darkness Our income for domestics Could not afford electrics Till he got a job on Mondays Flogging knock-off undies And when we got the lecky He just sat there watching telly I put up blinds and pictures He wanted to get hitched but Our money we'd be needing For another mouth for feeding He said that I had trapped him He didn't know how it happened I told him in his anger That it takes two to tango We squabbled through the winter I felt and he drank bitter He worked from dawn to evening While I did all the cleaning And cleared up all the crap that He left around the flat and It seemed I was in prison As a girl in my condition And when we had the baby He said he'd help me maybe He tried to make an effort But pretty soon he left it Sold the telly for a pony Then pissed it up with Tony Spent weekends like a loafer Passed out on the sofa And now I'm two years older I'm living with a soldier I swapped a drunken loser For a fighter and abuser He's always on his travels And so my life unravels It's just me and my daughter Alone in Army quarters Now I'm sitting in the barracks Peeling spuds and carrots Cooking stew and dumplings The radio for company And now the stupid beggar Has sent another letter With his and my dysfunction We're really up the junction credits
