Violet!

(Violet)
Hey, would you look at me
It's hard to believe I'm a star after all of this time
Others may glow
From the stardust I throw
On their path never thinking I'd shine
Like some hollywood queen
I've arrived on the scene
A sensation
The toast of the town

(Boys)
Oh she's fabulous!

(Violet)
I'm wallowing in it
I love every minute
So up, I may never come down!

The most beautiful
Glamorous
Brilliant
And amorous
Female CEO in the world

(Boys)
The whole wide world, wow!

(Violet)
My ship finally came in
Ahoy!

(Boys)
And now it's smooth sailin'

(Violet)
I'm everyone's new pin-up girl
Respected and high class
I don't have to kiss ass
For the first time since I've been employed

It's my time to shine
And I'm feeling fine
This old gal's now
One of the boys!

(Boys)
Violet!
The most beautiful, glamorous
Brilliant and am'rous
Female CEO in the world!

(Violet)
It's landed in my lap
I don't have to take crap
For the first time
Since I was a girl

(Boys)
Violet's one of the boys! Huh!
Violet's...
(Violet)
One of the boys!
(Boys)
Violet's...
(Violet)
One of the boys!
(Boys)
Yeah she's one of the...
Wow, she's one of the...
Now she is one of the boys!

(Violet)
Oh, I'll razzle and dazzle
Wear you to a frazzle
Competing is my greatest joy!

(Boys)
Go Get 'em, girl!

(Violet)
I'll take this job and love it!
I'm a woman and proud of it
This old gal is one of the boys

(Boys)
Beautiful, glamorous, brilliant
And am'rous

(Violet)
This old gal is one of the boys!
(Boys)
She's one of the...
She's one of the...
Yeah she's one of the...
Violet's one of the boys!

Dolly Parton

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
