Guess the 1970s song lyrics #37

1972.There's an urban myth that this song was about a 19th century feminist bar maid who once posted a sign on a road that read "Oppression Street." However, the band member and writer of the song says this is not true. Many girls born in the 1970s were probably named after this song.

"Bares" should be "bears", and in one place it says "you're a find girl" instead of "fine girl".
