"LEAVE IT TO THE GIRLS" by Hildegard
(Gladys Shelley)
Lyrics to presidential campaign tribute to
Margaret Chase Smith
January 1964
Leave it to the girls,
Where there's a frill,
And a powder puff there's greater skill
Leave it to the chicks
They've got a million magic tricks
To change the course of history
Their know-how is a mystery
Leave it to the girls
They're heaven sent
It could be that our next president
Will wear perfume and pearls
Be diplomatic in pin curls
For love and glory leave it to the girls
G is for the good in every woman
I is for ideals for which they stand
And r and l and s
And now, as you may guess,
When you spell girls, my friend
You spell success.
Leave it to the girls
Where there's a frill
And a powder puff there's greater skill
Leave it to the chicks
They've got a million magic tricks
To change the course of history
Their know-how is a mystery
But leave it to the girls
They're heaven sent
It could be that our next president
Will wear perfume and pearls
Be diplomatic in pin curls
For love and glory leave it to the girls!
