Im a woman, I lead a womans life

Ive had three kids, Ive been a dutiful wife

along the way I suffered every female complaint

enough to try the patience of a female saint

now Im pushing fifty, figured Ive paid my dues

whats my reward? Its the menopause blues



The menopause blues, the menopause blues

hot flashes flashin from your hair to your shoes

brittle bones, insomnia and puttin on weight

except for the above I guess Im feelin great

you say some women have no trouble, well thanks for the news

the rest of us are stuck with the menopause blues



I went to my doctor, I said is there a cure

she bit her lip and handed me a pink brochure

about the miracle of hormone replacement pills

the modern way to fix those pesky change-of-life ills

but oops! They might cause cancer - and Im spposed to choose?

Good luck with sorting out all your menopause blues



The menopause blues, the menopause blues

hot flashes flashin from your hair to your shoes

so wheres the peace and wisdom that old age brings?

Im feelin like a yo yo with these wild mood swings

would Medicare reimburse me for a round-the-world cruise?

I need a little compensation for these menopause blues



They say dont fret over these changes that are comin on

the benefits may well outweigh the pains

they tell us its a natural phenomenon

well so are earthquakes and hurricanes - and rattlesnakes!



The menopause blues, the menopause blues

hot flashes flashin from your hair to your shoes

at least theres no more unplanned pregnancy fear

a pity my libidos also disappeared

comin soon to a body near you and you cannot refuse

so wed better get used to the menopause blues

yes wed better all get used to the menopause blues
