Honey girl, be as free as you can be!
I mean, go ahead, paint your toenails
Flaming Scarlet, or Honey Pink ~ ~ ~
That is, if you so prefer ~ ~ ~

For it is surely as true for me
As it seems to be for you,
That we fought for the right,
Burned our bras and everything ~ ~ ~
Even gave up a girdle or two ~ ~ ~

Just so we could wear flip-flop shoes,
And do a Jimmy Buffett song or two
As we danced on the beaches of our lives!

And Straight UP, Girlfriend,
Life does go on with its pleasures,
Even when we are alone, by choice...
We still have the voice,
Don't WE? ? , to say...
Well, whatever we want to say,
And DO whatever we want to do...
Thank you, I mean to say,
For burning the piano that WAY! !
