CDmF
We were three little girls from school
CFCG
One was pretty, one was smart and one was a borderline fool
CDmF
Well she's still good lookin', that woman hasn?t slipped a bit
CFCG
The smart one used her head, she made her fortune and me, I cross the border every chance I get
ChorusCF
We were the girls of the 50's, la-la, la-la
F
Stoned rock and rollers in the 60's
CAmF
And more than our names got changed as the 70?s slipped on by
GC
Now we're 80's ladies, There ain't been much these ladies ain't tried
CDmF
We've been educated, We got liberated and had complicating matters with men
CFCCG
Oh, we've said "I do" and we've signed "I don't" and we've sworn we'd never do that again
CDmF
Oh, we burned our bras, and we burned our dinners and we burned our candles at both ends
CFCG
And we've had some children who look just like the way we did back then
BridgeAm-GFAm-G
Oh, but we're all grown up now, All grown up,
