I Am (Afghan) Woman
(Sung to the tune "I Am Woman" by Helen Reddy
Guest song parody by Valerie F. de Daulles

(As sung by women in Afghanistan recently liberated from Taliban tyranny:)

(short instrumental intro)

I am woman, hear me wail.
'Cause I can now remove my veil.
And I'm not about to
Put it on, la-la!
Even though I have no cash,
My burqua's finally in the trash.
Oh, I just can't wait
To slip into a bra!

Had no school, so I'm dumb.
I can't even spell my name.
But I won't be glum,
'Cause I know who to blame.
Every male here
Will sing soprano soon.
I am strong...
I'm not invisible...
I am woman!

(brief instrumental break)

I am woman, men are scum.
And now the Allied troops have come.
And they're going after them
Across the sand.
I'll adopt the modern ways.
I'll give Regis all my praise.
I'll have television,
And not Taliban!

Oh, yes, I have eyes.
And I even have a mouth.
I got "T & A" if you
Just look further south.
And I plan to
Flaunt them like Britney Spears.
Watch out, Dole
Dorri is on a roll
I am woman!
(I am woman! I'm not invisible...)


Here is another version of this parody by Attmay: I Am Dubya
