Janis Ian sings "Cosmopolitan Girl" Savannah Folk Festival

Recorded Sunday, October 11, 2009. This song is available on iTunes or the double CD set Working Without a Net from www.janisian.com I missed the first part of the song, here is the first verse and chorus:

Cosmopolitan Girl by Janis Ian
I was only 29 and lonely as a bull moose in heat
When he came along singing that same old song
I said "You know I'm entering my prime
31 -39, bet you've read those articles too
Statistically speaking my hormones are creeping
I can feel them moving in the night.
But like the articles say, I am Woman
I can wait until it's right"

I'm going to be a Cosmopolitan, cosmopolitan,
cosmopolitan girl
Take half a dozen lovers and teach them what I've seen
Inbetween the covers of my favorite magazine
I want to read statistics, plan logistics
Live my life to the hilt
Without shame without pain without guilt.
