Look you have a baby girl; put a bow on her head Give her a twirl Buy her soft, pastel things; bloodless Barbies and sparkly wings Take her to Disney on ice; teach her to fix her hair; what isn't nice Cry at her first day of school; her first haircut her first swim in a pool Baby girl is growing so fast; she's looking so pretty at the top of the class Do your best honey; but remember to stay sweet Men don't care about money What kind of dreams you have and keep; just learn how to bake and a provider you'll reap; after all work is so tiring it turns baby girls into bitches. You don't want to be one; the jealous hags and the witches. So keep smiling little one; your youth is your savior; men like them moldable with coquette behavior. Intellect ignored with flowery fervor; childishly indulged to the casual observer put on this linen dress and from scratch bake a cake; simper for the camera as you serve him a steak; that's the natural order; where women like you should be. Smiling doll-like, as you scrub on your knees. Womb bearing fruit with magazine efficiency; this is your role of dutiful femininity Forbidden to teach, your existence a stage for ideal womanhood, your glittering cage Don't forget to keep smiling Men like that. And remember the gym too, so you don't get too fat, but yet your life will be measured in dinners; flowers on your vanity, your sweet tolerable acquiescence. Be sensual but not brazen, your organization skills amazing but don't have standards that inconvenience or make you seem crazy. patience always, boys will be boys, while you sit on the sideline like a shiny pink toy. of course when you're old, you're invisible, a dried up old husk. A tired old model filled with infertile dust. unless you reproduce and make a man smile, you'll die alone and unloved, forgotten and senile. that's what happens to women who don't give and give and give. They are cast aside, like flotsam In lonely girl abyss But now she's just A sweet baby girl Dreaming of her mother, and how she too Had been promised the world
