about

In a space of two weeks' time, two fellas told me I should sing like a girl and as many languages. This is when we learn that if you are annoying enough, you may be immortalized as annoyed in a song.

lyrics

sing like a girl

I can't believe in this day and age what
You would say to me when I come off the stage
“That was alright, girl, That was okay, but
Don't you think it might sound
better this way”

“You could sing like a girl
You should sing like a girl
Bet you'd sound alright if you
sang like a girl”

What are you getting at, man, you sound like a twat
It’s ironic at best I somehow don’t pass your test
I don’t know what you mean, am I singing too low
well hell that’s just where
my voice wants to go

“You could sing like a girl
You should sing like a girl
Bet you'd sound alright if you
sang like a girl”


I could wear a skirt or a low cut shirt
But I don't think that'd change my vocal range or
What my voice wants, or what my words say
So you best get used to me
Singing this way

Wait, so, Prince can sing like a girl
But not Nina Simone?
And I don't sing like a girl?
Man, My mind is just blown – I bet you rarely are

I’ve a female default but have you heard of gestalt
Pussy, lipstick, and heart I'm more than the sum of my parts and
I don’t know what you mean, Are my lyrics unclean?
If my language gets rough
Can I not have a muff?

I can sing like a girl
This is me singing like a girl
I think I sound alright
When I sing like a girl (which is all the time!)

I can tell you’ve got beef, turns out I’m veg
I’ll think of you when I queef, or I’m trimming the hedge
Your gender norms are passé, So you'd better make way
They will soon be extinct so
If you're gonna talk, think

And you know maybe you should think like a girl
If you think at all
And I will sing like a girl
Never make myself small
When I sing like a girl
We should sing like girls
I never really wrote an end to this song
I just kinda I pictured it fading out or something
Ain't that just like a girl.

Margarita O'Brien image

Margarita O'Brien Eugene, Oregon

Margarita rediscovered her musical roots when she found a guitar in the house she was housesitting in the rain forest in Costa Rica during rainy season.

Soon after the ukulele stole her heart away.

In a developing style she likes to call quirk-folk, she writes songs of her life, stories for which you may have been an unwitting muse, encouraging words, and the saddest happy songs she can muster. ... more
