Mansplainin'

Ooooooo ahhhhh, ooooooohhh


Mansplainin, Mansplainin, now isn’t that fun?
A room full of ladies getting ‘er done
But the man waltzes in and says,
“Step Aside! Let this man give it a try!”
What do you say, ladies?

(Wait a minute, let’s give him a try...)


But he stumbles, he fumbles, he fucks it all up
And now it’s our job to clean it all up
But oh man, if you had just listened to me
You might find a good mind in little ole me


Uh huh! Oooo


But he shrugged, and he slumped and he said,
“I don’t care - I see your lips moving,

but the words I can’t hear,
But ain’t you cute trying to figure it out
Something you know nothing about!”

 

Huh! Ooooooo! You know nothing about it!
 

Man, why don’t you look up here for a sec?
You know we got something more

than just a pretty face ‘bove our neck!
And while you were boasting, we figured it out
Despite all your naysaying and doubt!


Ooooooooooooooo


(solo)


Mansplainin, Mansplainin now isn’t that fun?
That room full of ladies got her done
While the man was just boasting they figured it out
While he mumbled and grumbled and ran his big mouth!


Ooooooooooo Mansplianin!!!


What do you say ladies? Mansplainin!!!

All Shook Up

Well, Bless my Soul, What’s wrong with me?
I’m itching like a gal on a fuzzy tree
My friends say I’m acting wild as a bug
I’m in love.....I’m all shook up
Uh huh, Uh huh, Yay, Yay, Yay
Uh huh, Uh huh, Yay, Yay, Yay


Well, my hands are shaking, my knees are weak,
I can’t seem to stand on my own two feet
Who do you think of when you’ve got such luck?
I’m in love.....I’m all shook up
Uh huh, Uh huh, Yay, Yay, Yay
Uh huh, Uh huh, Yay, Yay, Yay


Well, Please don’t ask me what’s on my mind
Oh, I’m a little mixed up but I’m feeling fine!
When I’m ‘round that guy that I love the best,
My heart beats so it scares me to death!


He touched my hand what I thrill I got!
His lips are like a volcano when it’s hot
I’m so proud
to call him my buttercup!
I’m in love.....I’m all shook up
Uh huh, Uh huh, Yay, Yay, Yay
Uh huh, Uh huh, Yay, Yay, Yay


[Solo]


My tongue gets tied when I try to speak
My insides shake like a leaf on a tree
There’s only one cure for this body of mine,
And that’s to have that guy I love so fine!


He touched my hand what I thrill I got!
His lips are like a volcano when it’s hot
I’m so proud to call him my buttercup!
I’m in love.....I’m all shook up
Uh huh, Uh huh, Yay, Yay, Yay
Uh huh, Uh huh, Yay, Yay, Yay
I’m all shook up!

Triple D's

On a hot day in July, for some reason why
I sat sippin’ tea with Aunts Joan and Mary
They talked ‘bout birds,
They talked ‘bout bees
As they spiked their tea with sherry.


Then, Joan crouched down and looked around
And said, “If you want the real deal I’ll tell ya.”
There’s just one key to land a man of esteem
You must always act like a lady...


So lady, sweet lady if you wanna land a big man today
Just be real nice, All sugar no spice
And don’t have very much
to say.
And honey, sweet honey
it’s best to be polite,
Perpetually grin, that’s the way to win
Just make sure they’re pearly white 


The Triple Ds, The Triple Ds,
That’s all they want
That’s all they need
Demure, Diminish, Defer


And darling, now darling
we all love who you are
But just be a little less,

Don’t get depressed
Repression ain’t so bad after all 


And lady, sweet lady, you may think you are smart
But don’t let it show, He doesn’t need to know,
Just be quiet and play your part 


The Triple Ds, The Triple Ds,
That’s all they want
That’s all they need
Demure, Diminish, Defer


Aunt Mary agreed, “If you remember those three,
You will always live in comfort.
Just let him have his way
love, honor, obey
Sometimes it’s best to quietly suffer.”

 
The Triple Ds, The Triple Ds,
That’s all they want
Now get on your knees!
Demure, Diminish, Defer

Pollyanna's Lament

Tried being perfect, Someone to adore
Being of service
I gave more and more
Painted a smile on my tired face
Finding the gladness despite my poor fate


But it never, ever crossed my mind
No I was so blind
It never crossed, it coulda crossed, well it shoulda crossed my mind.

No he preferred darkness, in shadows he'd lurk
I'd light up his corners and he'd be a jerk
Said I was sorry all through the day
Made myself smaller and gave him his way

But it never, ever crossed my mind
No I was so blind
It never crossed, it coulda crossed, well it shoulda crossed my mind

So what if I lied when I told him I loved him each night
I know if I didn't there would be a fight
Something inside me knew this wasn't right
But I kept on shining my big, bright light


But it never, ever crossed my mind
No I was so blind
It never crossed, it coulda crossed, well it shoulda crossed my mind

So my light starting dimming, my smile turned a frown
But I kept on giving

I couldn't let my man down
But the things to be glad for were less than before
And all along I could've walked out that door

But it never, ever crossed my mind
No I was so blind
It never crossed, it coulda crossed, well it shoulda crossed my mind

Tiny Hands

I lay sleeping in my bed
Lovely thoughts roll through my head
But Suddenly, I’m filled with dread
Tiny Hands Appear Again!


Those midget digits won’t go away
Those pasty feelers out on display
Flaccid, Flimsy in every way
Please don’t tell me they’re here to stay!


But oh, they try to wave and gesture
But somehow their commands fall flat!
Tiny, teeny ineffectual.
Soft and Limp, they Flip and Flap!


Sticky paws of mystery
Casting Spells of Trickery
But slight of hand ain’t wizardry

No!
Tiny Hands bring misery!
But oh, they try to wave and gesture
But somehow their commands fall flat!
Tiny, teeny ineffectual.
Soft and Limp, they Flip and Flap!


Sticky paws of mystery
Casting Spells of Trickery
But slight of hand ain’t wizardry

No!
Tiny Hands bring misery!

Sundown of the Macho Man

Sundown of the Macho Man
Sundown of the Macho Man


For so long in this godforsaken town
The cowboys were up and the cowgirl was down
The men made the rules and the women obeyed
And the sun was high and it was bright all day


(The sun was high and it was bright all day)


But the day waned, the sun wasn’t so bright
The cowgirls all said, “Something’s not right
These men grab us, rule us and treat us like dirt
And we could run this whole town without all this hurt.”


Sundown of the Macho Man
Sundown of the Macho Man


The sun hid behind the mountaintop
The cowboys got weak, they started to drop
The cowgirls said, “It’s now that time of day
When the men can’t tell us what do or say.”


Then the King of the Machos
rode into town before night
To turn back time and make things Right
With a blazing head of orange upon a gallant white steed
With an aura of black and a heart full of greed
The King of the Machos he wielded his sword
And pronounced that rules will again be restored


(Rules will again be restored)


He told the ladies, “Git on your knees or git out of town”
They started to kneel, but saw the sun going down.
The cowgirls rose and stood up tall
And pronounced the world of Machos was about to fall


Some good guys stood by the ladies and said, “Y’all a’right!”
But the Macho Men, they started to fight
They whipped out their guns and aimed to shoot
But the cowgirls cocked their guns and said,

“Ain’t y’all cute!”
The ladies announced, “The Good Guys can Stay
(I guess)
But to all those Macho Men git away, git away, Git Away!

 

The King of All Machos

the biggest coward of All
Gathered his Men just before nightfall
Said, “Come on guys let’s git out of this place”
And they rode outta town at a moderate pace


Sundown of the Macho Man
Sundown of the Macho Man
