Well, she may be old, about ninety year
But she ain’t too old for shift her gears
She got to bottle up and go
She got to bottle up and go
All you high-powered women sure got to bottle up and go

Well, I jumped in the river, and I started across
I fell upon an alligator, thought he was a horse
He had to bottle up and go
He had to bottle up and go
All you high-powered women sure got to bottle up and go

Well, I jumped in the river, and I started to drown
I thought about my baby and turned around
She had to bottle up and go
She had to bottle up and go
All you high-powered women sure got to bottle up and go

Well, she may be old, about ninety year
But she ain’t too old for to shift her gears
She got to bottle up and go
She got to bottle up and go
All you high-powered women sure got to bottle up and go

Well, I jumped in the river, and I started to drown
I thought about my baby, and I turned around
She had to bottle up and go, ooh
She had to bottle up and go, yes, she did
All you high-powered women sure got to bottle up and go
She got to bottle up and go, say boy
She got to bottle up and go, wa
All you high-powered women sure got to bottle up and go
