There's a Good Time Coming Girls
(Anonymous)
Danvers Courier, July 7, 1849

There's a good time coming girls,
A good time coming.
Old maidens may not see the day,
but still shall give a loud hurrah!
for the good time coming.

Submission now shall aid our cause,
and make it all the stronger.
We'll wear the breeches by and by,
wait a little longer.

There's a good time coming girls,
A good time coming.
Our tongue shall supercede their pen
and women rule instead of men,
in the good time coming.

Voice, not force, shall rule mankind
and be acknowledged stronger.
The proper weapon we have got,
wait a little longer.

There's a good time coming, girls
A good time coming.
A bachelor and all eyes shall be
a matter of inequity,
in the good time coming.

The Lord of the creation then
shall not be thought the stronger,
to make us promise to obey
wait a little longer.

There's a good time coming girls,
A good time coming.
We shall do whatever we please,
For fun the men we oft will tease,
in the good time coming.

They shall smile, nor dare to frown,
but own we are the stronger.
The reformation has begun,
wait a little longer.
