Good little girls
are not what they used to be
and we love it.
Good little girls
don’t take no for an answer
and we couldn’t agree more.
Good little girls
have their own ideas about good little girls
and who’s to say what’s right and what’s wrong.
Good little girls
don’t call themselves girls anymore
and nobody can stop them.
Good little girls
use their own pronouns now
and we all better get used to it.
Good little girls
are neither good nor little
and don’t call them girlish.
Because good little girls
have developed muscles
not just on their arms
but in their brains too.
Beware of good little girls
as they hit bad big boys
right in their youknowwhat
talk them to the wall
until the bad big boys’s ears ring
and their brains implode.
Oops say the good little girls
what did just happen
maybe we start kissing frogs
to see if there are any princes left.
