Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I Just want to be like the other girls
It was a woman who sang it solo without musical accompaniment, Ollie Woods if I recall correctly, with everyone joining on the chorus. There were a whole bunch of us singing different songs throughout the night.

I meant to ask her then and there, but forgot.

It was a fairly slow melody with a strong comedic tone.

Unfortunately, I'm drawing a total blank as to the specifics of the rest of the lyrics, but I think the story of the song was that of a spinster pleading her case for a husband.

Knowing my luck, it was original to her, I know the Wood's are a bit talented like that..
