Women Will Rule the World

Ry Cooder

How different the ladies of long ago to the modern women that we all know 
If you observe you are bound to see that sex has changed entirely 
A long ago their one ambition  in life, was to be a mother and a wife 
Now they go out imitating the males by smoking cigarettes and drinking cocktails 

Girls used to like to be school teachers, gradually becoming stenographers 
We next hear of them as lecturers, authors and engineers 
There is no limit to their ambition, they've even gone in for aviation 
And if you men don't assert control your women will rule the world 

Play a bridge! 

Now they say anything that your man can do, they also can achieve too 
And they've openly boasted to do their part in the literature and art 
We will next hear of them as candidates for the president of these United States 
And if you men don't assert control your women will rule the world 

Now you hear on the radio and TV of a great national calamity 
Story of tragic proportion coming from the White House in Washington 
The facts in the case are clearly stated the president is being cruely dominated 
By a international conspiracy that threatens world peace and security
