Women in STEM

I have always loved Cindi Lauper’s style and her iconic song, ‘Girls just want to have fun’, and when I saw this photo (see above) from the Women’s March, I knew I needed to make my own rendition of the song. I hope you enjoy!

I originally learned how to play the song on the ukulele following this tutorial. The lyrics and tabs below:

Women in STEM

[F] When you ask some girls, what’s a cool career [Dm] They say being an ecologist or an engineer [Bb] Or maybe in psychology or neuroscience, [Dm] Some girls, [C*] just want to do [Bb] science, [Dm] Some girls [C] just want to be [F] scientists,

[F] I know there’s still discrimination [Dm] But don’t let it stop you from a career in STEM [Bb] Follow your dreams is what I urge [Dm] Some girls [C*] just want to do [Bb] research, [Dm] So we’re going to [C] pursue [F] research

[F] Ya that’s all we really want [Dm] Some funding [F] To run experiments [Dm] And make [C*] infer- [Bb] ences [Dm] Ya to [C] help [F] society

[F] Make a lab with lots of diversity [Dm] Including women and minorities [Bb] You don’t have to look far, you don’t have to search [Dm] And it will make [C*] for better [Bb] research, [Dm] Ya and makes for [C] better [F] researchers

[F] Ya that’s all we really want [Dm] Some funding [F] To run experiments [Dm] And make [C*] infer- [Bb] ences [Dm] Ya to [C] help [F] society
