Suffs the Musical - Great American Bitch Lyrics
The song is written by Shaina Taub.
RUZA:
I’m a great American bitch
I refuse to wear corsets and lace
I earn my own wages
And burst into rages
When men say “Know your place”
My boss tried to fondle me
Under my skirt
I kicked him like this in the crotch,
Where it hurt
I got fired, but hey -
I’d rather be right than rich
Cuz i’m a great American bitch
INEZ, LUCY, ALICE:
She’s a, she’s a great American bitch
RUZA, INEZ, LUCY, ALICE:
I’m/she’s a,
I’m/she’s a great American bitch
INEZ:
I’m a great American bitch
ALICE: (spoken)
Queen bitch
INEZ:
I seduce whoever I please
RUZA: (spoken)
Very jealous.
INEZ:
I fornicate freely and some say
I really bring gentlemen
To their knees I proposed to a Dutchman,
We’re wedded in bliss
Cuz he doesn’t mind who else I might kiss
Though most of the time,
I prefer to scratch my own itch cuz
I’m a great American bitch
RUZA, LUCY, ALICE, DORIS:
She’s a, she’s a great American bitch
INEZ, RUZA, LUCY, ALICE, DORIS:
I’m / she’s a,
I’m/she’s a great American bitch
ALICE: (spoken)
Lucy, your turn.
RUZA, INEZ, DORIS: (spoken)
Yes! / Let’s hear it! / Lucy!
LUCY:
I’m a great american...
(spoken)
I’m sorry,
I honestly just don’t love that word
ALICE: (spoken)
We’ll do it together, come on -
(singings)
You’re a great American bitch
LUCY: (spoken)
Well, thanks
ALICE:
I’ve known it since sophomore year
LUCY: (spoken)
Not this story
ALICE:
When Professor McMoller said
Only male scholars could manage
A doctor’s career
INEZ: (spoken)
Boo, Professor
ALICE:
He drove this expensive
New Ford Model T
So I scratched it all over
With my bedroom key
But Lucy went further...
LUCY:
I may have pushed his car into a ditch
ALICE:
Why?
LUCY:
Cuz I’m a great American bitch
ALICE, RUZA, INEZ, DORIS:
She’s a, she’s a great American bitch
LUCY, ALICE, RUZA, INEZ, DORIS:
I’m a / she’s a,
I’m a / she’s a great American bitch
Drink if they’ve called you a nag
INEZ:
Drink if they’ve called you a slut
ALICE:
Or a shrew
LUCY, ALICE, RUZA, INEZ, DORIS:
Drink if they’ve called you a crazy hag
Drink if the rumors are true
DORIS:
I’m a great american bitch
ALICE, LUCY, RUZA, DORIS: (spoken)
Yes you are
DORIS:
Once, I cut my own hair
ALICE / LUCY/ INEZ / RUZA: (spoken)
Okay/ Yeah you did / Sure / Doesn’t count
DORIS:
And one time I took out a library book
And never returned it, I swear
INEZ: (spoken)
Oh, you’re bad
ALICE:
Young lady,
Thy bitch-hood hath only begun
INEZ:
We’ll train you
LUCY:
Ordain you
DORIS: (spoken)
Thank Dod
RUZA: (spoken)
Better run
ALICE, LUCY, INEZ, RUZA, DORIS:
Here’s to our coven,
And long may we love to bewitch
To the great American bitch
You’re a, you’re a great American bitch,
You’re a, you’re a great American bitch you’re a,
You’re a great hysterical arrogant,
Lecherous, treacherous U.S.A bitch!
