GiRL PoWeR!!!!!

Bah humbug no that's too strong cos it's my favorite holiday 
But all this year's been a busy blur don't think I have the energy
To add to my already mad rush just because it is the season 
The perfect gift for me would be completions and connections left from
Last year world tour aeroplanes and babies 
Met some guys but never the time most of '98 passed along those lines 
So deck the halls and trim those trees raise up the cups of Christmas cheer 
I just need to catch my breath christmas with my mates this year

Calendar picture frozen landscape chilled this room for twenty-four days 
Evergreens sparkling snow get this winter over with
Flashback to springtime, saw him again would've been good to go for lunch 
Couldn't agree we were both free we tried we said we'd keep in touch 
We didn't, of course 'till the summertime out to the beach to his boat could I join him
No this time it was me sunburn in the third degree 
Now the calendar's just one page and of course, I am excited 
Tonight's the night but I've set my mind not to do too much about it

Merry christmas merry christmas but I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry christmas merry christmas but I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry christmas merry christmas but I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry christmas merry christmas but I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry christmas merry christmas but I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry christmas merry christmas but I think I'll miss this one this year

Hardly dashing through the snow cos I bundled up too tight 
Last minute have-to-do's a few cards a few calls
Because it's R-S-V-P no thanks, no party lights 
It's Christmas Eve, gonna relax turned down all of my invites
Last fall I had a night to myself same guy called halloween party 
Waited all night for him to show this time his car wouldn't go
Forget it it's cold, it's getting late trudge on home to celebrate 
In a quiet way, unwind doing Christmas right this time

Merry christmas merry christmas but I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry christmas merry christmas but I think I'll miss this one this year

Tesco has provided me with the world's smallest turkey 
Already in the oven, nice and hot oh damn, guess what I forgot
So it's on with the boots, back out in the snow to the only all-night garage 
But when to my wondering eyes should appear in the line that guy I've been chasing all year 
"Spending this one alone," he said "need a break; this year's been crazy." 
I said, "Me too, but why are you you mean you forgot the papers too?"
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed caught on to what was happening 
Christmas magic's brought this tale to a very happy e-ending

Merry christmas merry christmas but I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry christmas merry christmas but I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry christmas merry christmas but I think I'll miss this one this year
Merry christmas merry christmas but I think I'll miss this one this year

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 cos 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" has 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

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

Oh we ain't makin' stories no we ain't makin' plans
Don't ya know that a man still loves a woman and a woman still loves a man

Now there was a time when we used to say (there was a time when we used to say) 
That behind every great man  there has to be a great woman
Well in these times of change you know that it is no longer true
So we're comin' out of the kitchen cos there's somethin' we forgot to say to you

And that's sisters are doin' it for themselves
Standin' on their own two feet and ringin' on their own bells
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Sisters are doin' it for themselves (doin it doin it do-doin' it doin' it)
Sisters are doin' it for themselves (all of my sisters all of my sisters)
Sisters are doin' it for themselves

We are family I've got all my sisters with me
We are family get up everybody and sing
We are family I've got all my sisters with me
We are family get up everybody and sing

Everyone can see we're together as we walk on by
And we fly just like birds of a feather I won't tell no lie
All of the people around us they say can they be that close
Just let me state for the record we're giving love in a family dose

We are family I've got all my sisters with me (hey yeah)
We are family get up everybody and sing
We are family I've got all my sisters with me (hey yeah)
We are family get up everybody and sing

Livin' life is fun and we've just begun to get our share of this world's delights
(High) high hopes we have for the future and our goal's in sight
No we don't get depressed here's what we call our golden rule
(Have faith in you and the things you do (Harmony))
You won't go wrong this is our family jewel (oh no)

We are family I've got all my sisters with me (hey yeah)
We are family get up everybody and sing
We are family I've got all my sisters with me
We are family get up everybody and sing
We are family I've got all my sisters with me (all my sisters with me)
We are family get up everybody and sing
We are family I've got all my sisters with me (hey yeah all my sisters with me)
We are family get up everybody and sing

Overwear underwear anytime anywhere overwear underwear anytime anywhere

Now I believe in lookin' like my time on earth is cookin'
Whether polka-dotted striped or even checked
With some glamour guaranteein'every fiber of my bein'
Is displayed to quite remarkable effect
From your cradle via trousseau to your death bed you're on view so
Never compromise accept no substitute
I would rather wear a barrel than conservative apparel
Because a dress has always been my strongest suit
Overwear underwear anytime anywhere overwear underwear anytime anywhere

Stayin' in or hitting townwards from the top and working downwards
I ensure that every stitch is stitched in time
Whether wig or hat or turban whether clog boudoir or urban
Not to strut your stuff outrageously's a crime
And the few who are invited to my wardrobe are delighted
As they wander through my things to find a route
That in negligee or formal I am anything but normal
Because a dress has always been my strongest suit

Overwear underwear anytime anywhere overwear underwear anytime anywhere
Overwear underwear anytime anywhere overwear underwear anytime anywhere

Now you don't need a recital of the reasons why its vital
That tonight my drapings will not be subdued
That from coronet to sandal no one else is worth a candle
That I couldn't make more impact in the nude
So bring me all my finest most audacious my divinest
Most revealing, most expensive and to boot
Most arresting, most heart-stopping most free-flowing most eye-popping
Because a dress has always been my strongest suit

Overwear underwear anytime anywhere overwear underwear anytime anywhere
Overwear underwear anytime anywhere overwear underwear anytime anywhere
Overwear underwear anytime anywhere (my dress has always been my dress has always been)
Overwear underwear anytime anywhere (my dress has always been my strongest suit)
Overwear underwear anytime anywhere (my strongest suit)
Overwear underwear anytime anywhere
Overwear underwear anytime anywhere (strongest suit strongest suit)
Overwear underwear anytime anywhere (my Dress has always been my strongest suit)
Overwear underwear anytime anywhere
Overwear underwear anytime anywhere (dress has always been my strongest suit)

(Can you truly love a woman)
W.O.M.A.N. W.O.M.A.N. W.O.M.A.N. can you truly love a woman madly deeply

No longer are we teenagers
No longer hanging round the corner playin' games with our friends
Sometimes we all get outrageous 
We can be dirty, can be crazy can be flirty and cool
Truly madly deeply (louder baby louder baby)

W.O.M.A.N. can you truly love a woman (louder baby louder baby)
W.O.M.A.N. be independent like a woman

The early years were a lesson 
Now we know what's going on we're standing strong on our feet 
And now we're industry players 
We're wearing g-strings, you can mean it putting music to beats
Truly madly deeply (deeply louder baby louder baby)

W.O.M.A.N. can you truly love a woman (louder baby louder baby)
W.O.M.A.N. be independent like a woman deeply

So happy now (so happy) 
Livin' in a fantasy we just wanna be happy (I just wanna happy now) 
So happy now being every woman that we wanted to be louder baby

W.O.M.A.N. can you truly love a woman (louder baby louder baby)
W.O.M.A.N. be independent like a woman deeply (louder baby louder baby)

Are you hangin' up a stocking on your wall
It's the time that every Santa has a ball
Does he drive a red-nose reindeer does he turn up on his sleigh
Do the fairies keep him sober for a day

So here it is Merry Christmas everybody's having fun (it's Christmas)
Look to the future now it's only just begun

Are you waiting for the family to arrive
Are you sure you've got the room to spare inside
Does your granny always tell ya that the old songs are the best
And she's up and rock 'n' rollin' with the rest

So here it is Merry Christmas everybody's having fun (it's Christmas)
Look to the future now it's only just begun

What will your daddy do
When he sees your mommy kissing Santa Claus ah-ah

Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall
Are you hoping that the snow will start to fall
Do you ride around the hillside in a party you have made
When you land upon your head and you've been "sleighed"

So here it is Merry Christmas everybody's having fun (it's Christmas)
Look to the future now it's only just begun
So here it is Merry Christmas everybody's having fun (it's Christmas)
Look to the future now it's only just begun

When the snowman brings the snow well he just might like to know
He's put a great big smile on somebody's face
If you jump into your bed and you cover up your head
Don't you lock the doors you know that sweet Santa Claus is on his way

Well I wish it could be Christmas everyday
When the kids start singin' and the band begins to play
Oh I wish it could be Christmas everyday
Let the bells ring out for Christmas

When we're skating in the park if the storm cloud paints it dark
Then your rosy cheeks are gonna light my merry way
Now the frosticals appeared  and they've frozen up my beard
And so we'll lie by the fire till the sleep simply melts them all away

Well I wish it could be Christmas everyday
When the kids start singin' and the band begins to play
Oh I wish it could be Christmas everyday
Let the bells ring out for Christmas (one more time everybody!)

Well I wish it could be Christmas everyday
When the kids start singin' and the band begins to play
Oh I wish it could be Christmas everyday
Let the bells ring out for Christmas
Why don't you give your love it's Christmas

I can tell you what you want (tell your secrets too)
If it's lovin' on your mind I got a little time but that don't mean it's a lifetime thing

Doesn't mean I wanted to go on don't you know, that is just the way I am boy

A part of me can feel them too
Give me a little time and I will make
All your dreams come true

And you've gotta love like you've never been hurt
And every time someone tries to bring you down
Remember it's a day in your life so treasure every day in your life (oh yeah)

Oh when the odds are stacked against you hold on tight we'll weather the storm
Oh woah when you're feeling under pressure we'll pull together lke never before
