Get your hands off my ovaries;
Leave my uterus alone.
You have no right to say “yea” or “nay”
It’s my bod, and I have final say
So if I choose birth or abortion,
I’ll decide in my way.
Yes, I’m 1, 2, 3 saying, “Hey!
You just have no say!”
I don’t mess with your prostate,
Or tell you when to get hard.
Little blue pills and your other stuff,
Without them, your life is just ever so rough.
Oh, but you can’t find yourself pregnant,
If you could, you’d holler, “No way!”
So, I’m 1, 2, 3 saying, “Hey!
You just have no say!”
(Repeat 1st verse)
