Back in the day,
An Indiana girl, they say,
Grew up into a fifties world,
Where it was all too often heard,
That trouble stems
From Whistlin' Girls and crowin' hens
But she was wise and even then,
Patricia Ireland made a plan.

chorus:
'Cause Whistlin' Girls and crowin' hens
Make the finest kind of friends.
They know What Women Want to see
Is equal rights and liberty.

Where eagles fly,
She took a job up in the sky,
When equal rights did not apply,
She served the juice and wondered why.
Where eagles dare,
She brought E.E.O.C. to bear
And where the little bluebirds sing,
She turned an airline on its wing. (repeat chorus)

NOW called to her.
She borked Bork and made bork a verb,
With Reno fought for clinic rights,
Ellie, Kim and Janet by her side.

In ninety one,
This fine attorney had begun
A decade presidential term
She led a march that shook the sun.

repeat chorus
