Rock out with your cock out with Women in Uniform!

IRON MAIDEN

Women In Uniform

Beehive hairdo, 45 on the hip

Patrolwoman Saunders, don't you give her no whip

Took me to the station for a breathtest

then back to the bedroom for some house-arrest

[CHORUS:]

Women in uniform, sometimes they look so cold

Women in uniform, but, Oh! They feel so warm

Coming back to London on a 747

Stewardess made me feel like I'm in heaven

Looking up the aisle to see what I could see

She leaned over said; Give it to me

White apron, brown leather shoes

The nurse at the clinic left my heart all bruised

Gave me a massage, sprained my right

Now she takes my temperature every night

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Women in uniform, Women in uniform

Women in uniform, Women in uniform

Commando raid on the Lebanese border

Sergeant Anita, she gives the order

Khaki jacket and a love gun

Baby, I surrender, let's have some fun

[REPEAT CHORUS]

[SOLO]

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Women in uniform, Women in uniform

Women in uniform, Women in uniform

Women in uniform, Khaki, white and blue

Women in uniform, coming after you

Women, women, Women in uniform

Women, women, Women in uniform
