Wild Card - Progression of Women in the style of Fergie's Glamorous

This is my wild card for my Lit Portfoliio. It is a song about how the role of women has changed from the Victorian era up to now.

The Progression of Women
in the style of Fergie's Glamorous
If you ain't got no money, then you're never getting married
If you ain't got no money, then you're never getting married
V-I-C-T-O-R-I-A-N
yeah
E-L-I-Z-A-B-E-T-H

Pride and Prejudice
Living the life
Just wanna get married
And make some babies
To run the place
And teach good things
Just like Elizabeth, and Jane Bennett

The suffragettes
just trying to get their rights
oh the suffragettes
the bossy bossy

Watching baseball
and playing some games
like some ping-pong
oh bouncy bouncy

Cars are just now coming out
Girls are burning in a fire
At the shirtwaist factory
I can show my ankles yeah
Cause the war is over now
Its the twenties We can vote
Like our skirts Hair is short
People talk in movies now
Too bad we are all depressed
Shirley Temple is so cute
Amelia's flying in the air
Time to go to war again
girls working like Rosie did
Marilyn is coming now
Time to get your poodle skirts to go to the sock hop

Now its the fifties
Elvis is cool
Father knows best
Leave it to beaver
Lets roller skate
Just gotta end
The Segregation
Its just gotta go

Oh the ponytails
and the saddle shoes
poodle skirts
the ponytails
work that up-do

Oh the sixties the peace and love
Oh the sixties lots of drugs

I'm talking Woodstock music
Feminine Mystique
Birth control is there for all girls needs
Now this whole world has no clue what to do with us
These college protests are getting the best of us
The Flintstones are coming out with Fred, Wilma, Pebbles, Bam Bam
Lifestyles so wild and crazy
Your bouffant will deflate
We're moving to the seventies
Where mood rings were the thing
And if you ain't got no clogs you better hit up Birkenstock

S-T-E-P-F-O-R-D wives
L-A-V-A-L-A-M-P-S

Bell bottoms
And star wars tapes
Roe against wade
Get rid of the babe
Just wanna disco
Like Marcia and Greg
Oh the seventies, retro retro

The eighties
Madonna and Flashdance
Oh the eighties
Neon and spandex

The Breakfast Club
Et and the Smurfs
Oh and MTV, MC and Vanilli

And now the nineties are here
Those were some good years
Britney made her debut
And the spice girls wore big shoes
The world wide web was introduced
And Furbies weren't real cute
Just creepy all the time
Bill and Monica got down
And its the Millenium
Lets stock up on some beans
Everyone has their ipod
And people date on-line
Lindsay likes girls now
And Hilary was almost Prez
I guess the world has changed, I guess the world has changed

If you ain't got no money than apply for welfare
Everything has changed
If you ain't got no money than apply for welfare
Everything has changed
