Woman in Congress.
Well, a woman went to congress,
Because she was elected;
She lived in a woman's era,
Hence she was not objected.
Because she was elected;
She lived in a woman's era,
Hence she was not objected.
All of the leading problems
Of the country's weal or woe,
Were discussed while there at congress,
And her mind was all aglow.
Of the country's weal or woe,
Were discussed while there at congress,
And her mind was all aglow.
And a lady friend said to her;
“Did you catch the speaker's eye?”
“I sure did, and I'll tell you
The simple reason why!”
“Did you catch the speaker's eye?”
“I sure did, and I'll tell you
The simple reason why!”

“I wore my navy blue bloomers,
And heliotrope skirt waist;
And his eyes were ever on me,
I dressed to suit his taste.”
And heliotrope skirt waist;
And his eyes were ever on me,
I dressed to suit his taste.”
This woman was a congressman
She had the states at heart;
Of course she had to dress that way,
For that's a woman's part.
She had the states at heart;
Of course she had to dress that way,
For that's a woman's part.
