Beautiful Red Dress

Laurie Anderson

Well I was down at the Zig Zag

That's the Zig Zag Bar & Grill

And everybody was talking at once and it was getting real shrill.

And I've been around the block

But I don't care I'm on a roll -

I'm on a wild ride Cause the moon is full and look out baby -

I'm at high tide.

I've got a beautiful red dress

And you'd look really good standing beside it.. I've got some beautiful new red shoes and they look so fine

I've got a hundred and five fever and it's high tide.

Well just the other day I won the lottery

I mean lots of money I got so excited

I ran into my place and I said: HEY!

Is anybody home?

Nobody answered but

I guess that's not too weird

Since I live alone.

I've got a beautiful red dress

And you'd look really good standing beside it.. Girls?

We can take it

And if we can't we're gonna fake it

We're gonna save ourselves

We're gonna make it

And if we don't we're gonna take it

We're gonna save ourselves

Save ourselves

Well they say women shouldn't be the president Cause we go crazy from time to time

Well push my button, baby

Here I come

Yeah, look out, baby

I'm at high tide

I've got a beatiful red dress and you'd look really good standing beside it..

I've got a little jug of red sangria wine and we could take little sips from time to time

I've got some bright red drop dead lips

I've got a little red card and mechanical hips I've got a hundred and five fever!!!

OK! OK! Hold it!

I just want to say something.

You know, for every dollar a man makes a woman makes 63 cents.

Now, fifty years ago that was 62 cents.

So, with that kind of luck, it'll be the year 3,888 before we make a buck.

But hey, girls?

We can take it

And if we can't we're gonna fake it

We're gonna save ourselves save ourselves

(Yeah tell it to the judge)

We're gonna make it
