Glitter Ain't a Sin (Harper Valley Air Rights)

Verse 1

Well, I sashayed into that PTA

Like a rhinestone rebel, come what may

They'd called a meetin', said it was dire

'Bout somethin' my kids did, settin' souls afire!

They said my sequins caused a moral scare

That my boa feathers were pollutin' the air

But honey, let me tell you somethin' true

This ain't about my kids—it's all about you!

Chorus

Harper Valley Air Rights TA, oh honey

Toss the pouts all you want, ain't gettin' my money

You people got a view, a perspective so skewed

Thinkin' glitter's a sin, misunderstood!

Verse 2

They said my dancin' put the kids at risk

Said the tassels twirlin’ made 'em all ballistic

But while you're sittin' there clutchin' your pearls

I'm teachin' 'em to dream in a big ol’ world!

You say I'm reckless, that I cross the line

But honey, your rules ain't divine

You’re buildin’ fences where there should be bridges

And throwin’ stones from your glass houses and fridges!

Chorus

Harper Valley Air Rights TA, oh honey

Toss the pouts all you want, ain't gettin' my money

You people got a view, a perspective so skewed

Thinkin' glitter's a sin, misunderstood!

Bridge

See, we got air rights, reachin' to the sun

That skyscraper's shadow can't outrun

My right to sparkle, my right to shine

Time to flip the hourglass—it's my turn to judge this time!

You sit on your thrones with your noses held high

But you're blind to the truth that’s right in your sky!

It’s not about sequins or feathers or flair—

It’s about freedom and breathin’ fresh air!

Verse 3

You're worried 'bout influences, the things they might see

But what about freedom? Liberty!

They're learnin' about business, supply and demand

And how a good shimmy can save the whole darn land!

So while you’re busy writin’ rules for us all to obey

I’m teachin’ ‘em confidence every day!

You call it scandalous—I call it art—

And honey, my kids are gonna grow up smart.

Chorus

Harper Valley Air Rights TA, oh honey

Toss the pouts all you want, ain't gettin' my money

You people got a view, a perspective so skewed

Thinkin' glitter's a sin, misunderstood!

(Verse 4) (NEW!)

Now let’s talk about danger—you wanna go there?

Your rules are suffocatin’, they’re pollutin’ the air!

While you're buildin’ walls and closin’ doors

I’m teachin’ ‘em how to open up floors!

Burlesque ain’t dirty—it’s history and pride

It’s women takin’ power back worldwide.

So while you sit there in your judgmental haze

I’m teachin’ ‘em strength in a thousand ways.

(Chorus) (Repeat for emphasis)

Harper Valley Air Rights TA, oh honey

Toss the pouts all you want, ain't gettin' my money

You people got a view, a perspective so skewed

Thinkin' glitter's a sin, misunderstood!

(Extended Outro)

So I strutted out with my head held high

Leavin’ ‘em speechless under that big ol’ sky.

Harper Valley Air Rights TA learned that day

A little bit of burlesque can go a long way.

And when they try to judge me again next week

I’ll be ready with rhinestones and words to speak.

Cause this mama don’t bow down or run from fights—

I’ve got sequins in my soul and air rights in sight!
