5, 6, 5, 6, 7, Let's go!
Let's go, go, go!
Let's go, let's go, let's really go!

One more round, girls
Let the Boy Scouts hear you
One for your mother and
Two for your teachers and
Three for the pretty boys in a row
One for the money and
Two to get ready and
Three now your ready and
Four to go
Let's go!
Let's go, go!
Let's go, let's go, let's really go!

Girl to girl, there's nothing like
How they understand
Heal the wounds when the boys bite
They're just holding your hand
Can't explain to a man how
Those girls know. Girls show
Strength that living can bring
So strong, so long
Songs the girls sing

(Four part round)
One more round, girls
Let the Boy Scouts hear you
One for your mother and
Two for your teachers and
Three for the pretty boys in a row
One for the money and
Two to get ready and
Three now you're ready and
Four to go
Let's go!

Bette Midler is a Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, comedienne and actress. Named in honor of Bette Davis, Midler’s career began performing off-broadway until she developed the stage persona The Divine Miss M while singing at the world-famous Continental Baths gay bathhouse. A pre-fame Barry Manilow, the venue’s in-house piano player, produced her Grammy-nominated debut album which scored three US top 40 singles including the Grammy-nominated “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy”. Midler took home the Best New Artist Grammy that year, her first of three career wins.

Throughout the 1970s, Midler found further success with music, Broadway, television and film. The Rose, Midler’s 1979 acting debut, earned her both Oscar and Academy Award nominations, and its namesake song won her a Golden Globe and another Grammy – also giving Midler her first success overseas.

The early 1980s proved less successful for Midler with four under-performing singles and a box office flop with the film Jinxed. However, the second half of the decade would prove far more fruitful with a handful of very successful films including Down and Out in Beverly Hills, Ruthless People, Outrageous Fortune and Beaches, the latter featuring a chart-topping cover of “Wind Beneath My Wings” that won Midler her third Grammy and is considered one of the greatest songs in American film history.
