Now there was a time when they used to say
That behind every "great man"
There had to be a "great woman"
But in these times of change you know
That it's no longer true

So we're comin' out of the kitchen
'Cause there's somethin' we forgot to say to you, we say

Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringin' on their own bells

Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Now this is a song to celebrate
The conscious liberation of the female state!

Mothers - daughters and their daughters too
Woman to woman
We're singin' with you

The "inferior sex" got a new exterior
We got doctors, lawyers, politicians too
Everybody, take a look around

Can you see, can you see, can you see
There's a woman right next to you
Now we ain't makin' stories

And we ain't layin' plans
'Cause a man still loves a woman
And a woman still loves a man
Just the same though
