High school daydreams come easy & free
When you're a working woman watcha gonna be?
A senator, a surgeon, aim for the heights
But the guidance office says lower your sights to:
59¢ for every man's dollar
59¢ it's a lowdown deal
59¢ makes a grown woman holler
They give you a diploma
It's your paycheck they steal
She's off to college, the elite kind
To polish her manners, sharpen her mind
Honors in English, letter in lacrosse
Teaches her to type for her favorite boss at:
59¢ for every man's dollar
59¢ it's a lowdown deal
59¢ makes a grown woman holler
They give you a degree
It's your paycheck they steal
Junior executive on her way up
Special assistant to the man at the top
She's one in a million & all she found
Was her own secretary now to order around at:
59¢ for every man's dollar
59¢ it's a lowdown deal
59¢ makes a grown woman holler
They give you a title
It's your paycheck they steal
But the word is being processed in the typing pool
A working woman ain't nobody's fool
She's telling the boss on Secretary's Day
You can keep your flowers, buddy, give me a raise more than:
59¢ for every man's dollar
59¢ - oh the deal has changed
59¢ makes a grown woman holler
You can keep your flowers, buddy, give us a raise!
