Get Your Biscuits in the Oven and Your Buns in the Bed
Billy Joe Shaver & Kinky Friedman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You uppity women I don't understand
Why you gotta go and try to act like a man,
But before you make your weekly visit to the shrink
You'd better occupy the kitchen, liberate the sink.
Get your biscuits in the oven and your buns in the bed
Women's liberation is a-going to your head,
Get your biscuits in the oven and your buns in the bed.
Early every morning you're out on the street
Passing out pamphlets to everyone you meet.
You gave up your maiden form for lent
And now the front of your dress has an air scoop vent.
Every single brakeman that's ever come along
Had a little woman always tellin' him that he's wrong.
Eve said to adam, ¡°here's an apple you horse¡±
And delilah defoliated samson's moss.
Get your biscuits in the oven and your buns in the bed
That's what I to my baby said,
Women's liberation is a-going to your head,
Get your biscuits in the oven and your buns in the bed.
Mean-hearted harpies are breaking all the laws
Tearing up their girdles and a-burning up their bras,
Now the air is dirty and the sex is clean
And your coffee makes my hair turn green.
So damn emancipated in your mind and your body,
Gonna have to cancel all your lessons in karate.
If you can't love a male chauvinist
You'd better cross me off your shopping list.
Get your biscuits in the oven and your buns in the bed
That's what I to my baby said,
Women's liberation is a-going to your head,
Get your biscuits in the oven and your buns in the bed.
The lyrics to Billy Joe Shaver & Kinky Friedman's song Get Your Biscuits In The Oven And Your Buns In The Bed are controversial and inspiring. The song discusses the topic of women's liberation and how the idea of liberating women is causing them to lose sight of their femininity. The lyrics challenge the idea of women trying to act like men to prove their worth and equality in a male-dominated society. The words suggest that it is essential for women to embrace their traditional roles as homemakers and providers of comfort and love in a domestic setting, rather than becoming militants as expressed through their actions of burning bras and protesting on the streets.
The song also highlights the negative impact that women's liberation had on the traditional understanding of men and women's roles in society. The lyrics suggest that the rise of women's rights has caused confusion and power struggles in the relationships between men and women. The chorus of "Get your biscuits in the oven and your buns in the bed" emphasizes the importance of women fulfilling their traditional roles in the home.
In conclusion, the song is a testament to the social changes that took place in the wake of the feminist movement of the 1960s and 1970s. It is a biting criticism of the idea of women's liberation and a call for women to embrace their traditional roles in society.

You uppity women I don't understand
I don't comprehend women who try to be superior
Why you gotta go and try to act like a man,
Why do you have to try to be masculine?
But before you make your weekly visit to the shrink
But before you go see a therapist
You'd better occupy the kitchen, liberate the sink.
You better do house chores such as washing the dishes.
Get your biscuits in the oven and your buns in the bed
Go cook and take a rest.
That's what I to my baby said,
That's what I told my girlfriend.
Women's liberation is a-going to your head,
The feminist movement has distorted your thoughts.
Early every morning you're out on the street
Every day, you're out there advocating for your cause.
Passing out pamphlets to everyone you meet.
Distributing literature, brochures to people.
You gave up your maiden form for lent
Your sacrifice included abandoning your physical attractiveness.
And now the front of your dress has an air scoop vent.
Your dress looks like it has a parachute ramp in front.
Every single brakeman that's ever come along
Every train driver that ever existed
Had a little woman always tellin' him that he's wrong.
Received reprimands from his wife after work.
Eve said to Adam, 'Here's an apple you horse'
Eve offered the forbidden fruit to Adam.
And Delilah defoliated Samson's moss.
Samson's hair was his strength, but Delilah betrayed him.
Mean-hearted harpies are breaking all the laws
Evil, malignant women are violating the norms.
Tearing up their girdles and a-burning up their bras,
Destroying their undergarments in protest.
Now the air is dirty and the sex is clean
The environment is polluted, however the sexual orientations have been accepted.
And your coffee makes my hair turn green.
And your coffee is disgusting and disgusting.
So damn emancipated in your mind and your body,
So liberated in your thoughts and physique.
Gonna have to cancel all your lessons in karate.
You'll have to give up your martial arts training.
If you can't love a male chauvinist,
If you can't adore a male who's convinced his gender is superior,
You'd better cross me off your shopping list.
Remove me from your list of people to buy things for.
Get your biscuits in the oven and your buns in the bed
Prepare food and relax.
That's what I to my baby said,
That's what I told my girlfriend.
Women's liberation is a-going to your head,
The feminist movement has distorted your thoughts.
Get your biscuits in the oven and your buns in the bed.
Prepare food and relax.
