[Chorus]
DSouma Yergon, GSou Nou Yergon, We are Dshakin' the treeG  
DSouma Yergon, GSou Nou Yergon, We are Dshakin' the treeG  
DWaiting your time, dreaming of a Gbetter life
DWaiting your time, you're more than Gjust a wife

She has Ddone
This is your life, this new Glife has begun
It's your Dday - a woman's Gday

DTurning the tide, you are on the Gincoming wave
DTurning the tide, No, you are noGbody's slave
CFind your Sisters and Brothers (or: Find your Brothers and Sisters 1989 version)
Who can Ghear all the truth in what you Dsay
They can support you when you're Gon your way
It's your Dday - a woman's Gday
It's your Dday - a woman's Gday

COpen your heart, show him the Ganger and pain, so you Dheal
Maybe he's looking for his Gwomanly side, let him Dfeel
You have to Gbe so strongD  
I can do Gnothing wrong
Nothing wrong at allD  
We're gonna Gbreak it downD  
We have to Gshake it down
Shake it all around
