lyrics

Rosie was at home
Baking cookies in the sun
A bun in the oven

But there’s a hole in Arizona
Rock n’ rolled Oklahoma
Grey ladies need you

Rosie, Uncle Sam’s on the phone
He’s sayin’, your time has come
Rosie, trade in your apron
Squeeze that rivet gun

Dancing in gingham
Chairman’s singing
Some Enchanted Evening

Go dump that highball
Snuff out the menthol
Hold the tuna cassero-o-ole

Rosie, Uncle Sam’s on the phone
He’s sayin’, your time has come
Rosie, trade in your apron
Squeeze that rivet gun

We can do it
Shakin’ bakin’
Bombers makin’
B-17’s
Rolling off the line
We did it
It’s our time
Wonder women
Flying

By ‘44 not normal
To operate a drill
Back home to your mixer

Housewife drudgery
Fuck Barbie, Fuck Me
Feminist porn party

Third, fourth wave
Equal pay, don’t say gay
ERA di-vor-cées

Grabbin’ pussy Riot grrrl
Gender, Tumblr rape culture
Whisper Roe V Wade’s over

Rosie, Uncle Sam’s on the phone
He’s sayin’, your time has come
Rosie, trade in your apron
Squeeze that rivet gun

Rosie! Your time has come
Rosie! Your time has come
Rosie!
Squeeze that rivet gun

Rosie!
Rosie!
Rosie! Our time
Where has it gone?

Rivet Gun New York, New York

Rivet Gun was born from the off-off-Broadway musical "Negative Space", canceled on opening night 2020 due to COVID19. The band are Broadway pit and session players hand-picked to back power-voiced front woman Wilma Rivets. True urban gourmets, Rivet Gun adds modern flavor to the counter-culture lyricism of Jim Morrison and Bob Dylan, served on a bed of snarly guitar licks and fleshy organ swirls. ... more
