Ladies Room

This is the ladies room
No men allowed!
The mirrors really are quite large
They really attract a good-sized crowd

The ladies room is well liked
Many people come every day
Lots of useful things are done
(But not in the usual way)

Makeup, hairspray, lipstick galore
Colours and smells take up space
Who can look the prettiest now?
Its some kind of abnormal race

Gorgeous models, regular girls
And some that are less than cute
All sorts of things appear
Things in high heels and boots

A condition of entry
Is the possession of a womb
If you don't have one you can't come in
Coz its the LADIES ROOM!
