I tried you on for size
Sampled your maxi and your mini  

Your hot pink and little black
The poodle skirts and polka dots  

The high neck ruffles and too low riders
The cool chic and the leg warmers  

Your combat boots and your fuck me shoes  
Shoulder pads to rival any linebacker  

I’ve flapped the fringe and checked the flannels
And don’t forget to gag me in gingham                                                     

Been taped, tailored, and safety pinned
Was I the peasant blouse or the princess pleat  

Oh, tie-dye me a river
I torched my bra a long time ago 

Dumped my power suit at Goodwill
Donated all my pantyhose to the cat  

Find me now on a meadow runway
Decked in daisies
Bare feet vogueing the sweet grass
