Now, there was a time when they used to say
That behind 1 great man
There had to be a great woman
But in these 2 of change you know
That it's no longer true
So we're comin' out of the kitchen
'Cause there's 3 ' we forgot to say to you (we say)

Sisters are doin' it for 4
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringin' on their own bells
Sisters are 5 ' it for themselves

Now this is a song to celebrate
The conscious 6 of the female state!
Mothers - daughters and their daughters too.
Woman to 7
We're singin' with you
The "inferior sex" got a new 8
We got doctors, lawyers, politicians too
Everybody - take a 9 around
Can you see - can you see - can you see
There's a woman right next to you

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 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 a same though)
