Beautiful Red Dress lyrics

Well I was down at the Zig Zag

That's the Zig Zag Bar & Grill

And everybody was talking at once

And it was getting really shrill

And I've been around the block

But I don't care I'm on a roll - I'm on a wild ride

'Cause the moon is full and look out baby -

I'm at high tide

I've got a beautiful red dress

And you'd look really good standing beside it..

I've got some beautiful new red shoes

And they look so fine

I've got a hundred and five fever

And it's high tide

Well just the other day I won the lottery

I mean lots of money

I got so excited I ran into my place and i said:

HEY! Is anybody home?

Nobody answered but I guess that's not too weird

Since I live alone

I've got a beautiful red dress

And you'd look really good standing beside it.. Girls?

We can take it And if we can't we're gonna fake it

We're gonna save ourselves, save ourselves

We're gonna make it

And if we don't we're gonna take it

We're gonna save ourselves, save ourselves

Well they say women shouldn't be the president

'Cause we go crazy from time to time

Well push my button baby here I come

Yeah look out baby I'm at high tide

I've got a beautiful red dress

And you'd look really good standing beside it..

I've got a little jug of red sangria wine

And we could take little sips from time to time

I've got some bright red drop dead lips

I've got a little red card and mechanical hips

I've got a hundred and five fever!!!

OK! OK! Hold it!

I just want to say something

You know, for every dollar a man makes

A woman makes 63 cents

Now, fifty years ago that was 62 cents

So, with that kind of luck

It'll be the year 3,888

Before we make a buck

But hey, girls? We can take it

And if we can't we're gonna fake it

We're gonna save ourselves, save ourselves

(Yeah tell it to the judge)

We're gonna make it

And if we don't we're gonna take it

We're gonna save ourselves, save ourselves

We've got a fever of a hundred and five

And look baby It's high tide

Well I could just go on and on and on...

But tonight I've got a headache
