There was a time
When they used to say
That behind every great man
There had to be a great woman
Oh, in these times of change
You know it's no longer true
So we're comin' out of the kitchen
There's somethin' we forgot to say to you
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringin' their own bells
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
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’ve got doctors, lawyers - politicians too
Everybody take a look around you
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 there was a time
When they used to say
That behind every great man
There had to be a great woman
But oh, in these times of change
You know it's no longer true
We're comin' out of the kitchen
There's somethin' we forgot to say to you
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringin' their own bells
Sisters - you know they’re doin' it for themselves
Oh, you know they are doin' it
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
