We were three little girls from school
One was pretty, one was smart
And one was a borderline fool
Well shes still good lookin that woman hadnt slipped a bit
The smart one used her head, she made her fortune
And me, I cross the border every chance I get
We were the girls of the 50s la-la-la-la-la
Stoned rock and rollers in the 60s
And more than our names got changed
As the 70s slipped on by
Now were 80s ladies
There aint been much these ladies aint tried
Weve been educated
We got liberated
And has complicating matters with men
Oh, weve said, I do
And weve signed I dont
And weve sworn wed never do that again
Oh, we burned our bras
And we burned our dinners
And we burned our candles at both ends
And weve had some children
Who look just like the way
We did back then
Oh, but were all grown up now
All grown up
But none of us could tell you quite how
We were the girls of the 50s la-la-la-la-la
Stoned rock and rollers in the 60s
Honey, more than our names got changed
