    these hips are big hips
    they need space to
    move around in
    they don't fit into little
    petty places. these hips
    are free hips
    they don't like to be held back.
    these hips have never been enslaved,
    they go where they want to go
    they do what they want to do.
    these hips are mighty hips.
    these hips are magic hips.
    i have known them
    to put a spell on a man and
    spin him like a top!

    these words are powerful words
    they feed all to
    run around in.
    they work into every
    single brain. these words
    are harmful words.
    they don't like to be uttered quietly.
    these words have never been used kindly,
    they hurt who they want to hurt
    they persuade who they want to control.
    these words are false words.
    these words are your words.
    i have known them
    to put a spell on a man and
    put him in a grave
