Written for an indomitable lady who was the 'best man' at a wedding of two of our friends
Lyrics
ONE OF THE BOYS
VERSE 1
If it works she don't fix it, scratches where she itches
Though she's never been a square, she's been around.
She's loud and she's sassy and she's got the kind of chassis
You don’t get many of in a pound
And everyone who knows her knows she's straight from the shoulder
She just ain't got the time to be coy
HOOK
She's on the dark side of shady, just the right side of lady
And she loves to be just one of the boys.
CHORUS 1
One of the boys, in lipstick, powder and paint
One of the boys, with the face of an angel but a saint she ain't
VERSE 2
She's the best kind of friend, kinda loyal to the end
And she'll sock the one who says it isn't so
But she's nobody's fool and when she plays it cool,
It's like Alaska came and dumped at your door
She ain't no prude and when the repartee is rude
Her dirty laugh's a hell of a noise
HOOK
She's on the dark side of shady, just the right side of lady
And she loves to be just one of the boys.
CHORUS 2
One of the boys, high heels, tight dress and perfume
One of the boys, starring in a barroom in your neighbourhood soon
VERSE 3
She's a winner not a sinner and she just don't have it in her
To let the chance to party pass her by
She'll make you bop till you drop, but she never stops
Til the band's gone home and the bar’s drunk dry
She lives her life at full throttle and a glass and a bottle
Are among her favourite toys
HOOK
She's on the dark side of shady, just the right side of lady
And she loves to be just one of the boys.
(Repeat line: And she's loved by every one of the boys).
