Girls used to be taught to be lady like and clean
Boys are still to be rough or tough and say what they mean
Girls were once quiet ssshhhh don’t make too much noise
But boys have always loved violent things you can see it in their toys
Girls should keep their rooms organized and neat
If boys run around without shoes on their dirty feet
Girls aren’t taught to cook anymore or set the table
Look at boys who are inside playing video games and watching cable
Do Girls any longer primp like the once famous Betty Grable?
Or Boys groom themselves like the deceased Clark Gable
Girls grown up like Martha Stewart, for lying can be sent to jail
While boys like Snoop Dogg or Lion while accused of murder only left a paper trail
Girls are skewed as less feminine for working which shouldn’t be one would think
And boys really aren’t less masculine just for wearing the color pink
Girls please tell them who you want to become maybe an actor
Boys let them know you choose a career in make up like the famous Max Factor
Girls can play sports for cramps in our lockers we have Midol
And boys who want to sing can audition for American Idol
Yes girls and boys have many differences exploited for profit by us
This is why we grow up to become men from Mars and women from Venus
