[English]

Oh,na, na, na, na, na

She hosts a TV show

She rides the rodeo

She plays the bass in a band

She's an astronaut

A valet at the parking lot

A farmer workin' the land

She is a champion

She gets the gold

She's a ballerina

The star of the show

She's not

Just a pretty face

She's got

Everything it takes

She has a fashion line

A journalist for "Time"

Coaches a football team

She's a geologist

A romance novelist

She is a mother of three

She is a soldier

She is a wife

She is a surgeon

She'll save your life

She's not

Just a pretty face

She's got

Everything it takes

She's mother

Of the human race

She's not

Just a pretty face

Oh

Oh, oh yeah

Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

She is your waitress

She is your judge

She is a teacher

She is every woman in the world

Oh, la, la, la, la, la

She flies an airplane

Drives a subway train

At night she pumps gasoline

She's on the council

She's on the board

She's a politician

She praises the Lord

She's not

Just a pretty face

She's got

Everything it takes

She's mother

Of the human race

She's not - oh no she's not just a pretty face

She's got everything it takes

She's not just a pretty face

She's got everything it takes

She's not just a pretty face
