Lyrics

I like to see the ladies
I like to see the ladies
At the conferences giving papers
I like to see the ladies
I like to see the ladies
At the conferences giving papers

When I look around
And no ladies can be found
It always seems to bring me down
And I think that it should you too
Not demanding 50/50 representation
Just a little bit of more consideration
When your proposed conference
Is starting to smell like a sausage fest

I like to see the ladies
I like to see the ladies
As authors of papers in anthologies

I like to see the ladies
I like to see the ladies
As authors of papers in edited volumes

When I flip the page
I feel something close to rage
If not a single name of a lady can be found
Or one lady for 50 dudes
So don’t tell me that I’m being rude
‘cause I’ll be quickly telling you
Do a little bit better than that

I like to see the ladies
I like to see the ladies
At the conferences giving papers

I like to see the ladies
I like to see the ladies
At the conferences giving papers

And I like to see the ladies
I like to see the ladies
As authors of papers in anthologies

I like to see the ladies
I like to see the ladies
As contributing papers to edited volumes
