What a Woman He Was

WHAT A WOMAN HE WAS
Music & Lyrics by Leah Finkelstein

Intro:
Oh what a woman he was, oh what a woman he was

Verse I:
This is the story of a woman named Dory who just rolled into town
She rides her bicycle in high-heeled shoes and she never wears a frown
She pays for everything in $1 dollar bills
And she walks by construction sites just for the thrill

Chorus I:
Oh what a woman, what a woman, what a woman he was

Verse II:
She used to hang out at the local pub and she always drank straight gin
Then she went dancing, oh yeah, she was dancing with that big ol’ guy named Jim
But big ol’ Jim, he never asked her name
And little ol’ Dory, never expected the shame

Chorus II:
Oh what a woman, what a woman, what a woman he was

Verse III:
Jim went to kiss ol’ Dory on her lips of glory, on her skin, so fair
In front of all their eyes, to everyone’s surprise, Dory lost her hair
Jim’s reaction was to punch old Dor in the mouth
But Dory ran out of the bar, she headed towards the south
…and they’re still singing

Chorus III:
Oh what a woman, what a woman, what a woman he was

Verse IV:
Dory now lives down in Albuquerque, and she dances in the sand
She is a go-go dancer, dances everywhere, all over the land
But big ol’ Jim, he’s never been quite the same
He lives in a cabin now, in Aroostook County, Maine
…and he’s still singing

Chorus IV:
Oh what a woman, what a woman, what a woman he was
Oh what a woman, what a woman, what a woman he was
