Subject: RE: Music for Menopause
There's Marie-Lynn Hammond's "Menopause Blues" (Lyrics pasted from her web site):
I'm a woman, I lead a woman's life I've had three kids, I've been a dutiful wife along the way I suffered every female complaint enough to try the patience of a female saint now I'm pushing fifty, figured I've paid my dues what's my reward? It's the menopause blues
The menopause blues, the menopause blues hot flashes flashin' from your hair to your shoes brittle bones, insomnia and puttin' on weight except for the above I guess I'm feelin' great you say some women have no trouble, well thanks for the news the rest of us are stuck with the menopause blues
I went to my doctor, I said is there a cure she bit her lip and handed me a pink brochure about the miracle of hormone replacement pills the modern way to fix those pesky change-of-life ills but oops! They might cause cancer - and I'm s'pposed to choose? Good luck with sorting out all your menopause blues
The menopause blues, the menopause blues hot flashes flashin' from your hair to your shoes so where's the peace and wisdom that old age brings? I'm feelin' like a yo yo with these wild mood swings would Medicare reimburse me for a round-the-world cruise? I need a little compensation for these menopause blues
They say don't fret over these changes that are comin' on the benefits may well outweigh the pains they tell us it's a natural phenomenon well so are earthquakes and hurricanes - and rattlesnakes!
The menopause blues, the menopause blues hot flashes flashin' from your hair to your shoes at least there's no more unplanned pregnancy fear a pity my libido's also disappeared comin' soon to a body near you and you cannot refuse so we'd better get used to the menopause blues yes we'd better all get used to the menopause blues
