Here are the lyrics Bruce:
"She �s Not Just A Pretty Face"
(Oh na, na, na)
She hosts a T.V. show--she rides the rodeo
She plays the bass in a band
She �s an astronaut--
a valet at the parking lot
A farmer working the land
She is a champion--she gets the gold
She �s a ballerina--the star of the show
[Chorus:]
She �s--not--just a pretty face
She �s--got--everything it takes
She has a fashion line--
a journalist for "Time"
Coaches a football team
She �s a geologist--a romance novelist
She is a mother of three
She is a soldier--she is a wife
She is a surgeon--she �ll save your life
[Chorus:]
She �s--not--just a pretty face
She �s--got--everything it takes
She �s--mother--of the human race
She �s--not--just a pretty face
Oh, oh, yeah
Oh na, na, na, na.....
She is your waitress--she is your judge--
she is your teacher
She is every woman in the world
Oh, la, la, la
She flies an airplane--
she drives a subway train
At night she pumps gasoline
She �s on the council--she �s on the board
She �s a politician--she praises the Lord
[Repeat Second Chorus]
No, she �s (she �s) not (not)--
just a pretty face
She �s (she �s) got (got)--everything it takes
She �s--not--just a pretty face
She �s got everything it takes
She �s not just a pretty face

Are you being provocative or rude? If you try being polite , maybe you will get the answer you are looking for. Good luck.

On the board means she �s on the board of directors or trustees in a corporation, a museum etc. ...an important position |

That �s what I was going to say: she is part of a group of people who have power to make decisions and control a company or other organization. And I think here it doesn �t really matter "on the board" of which organization. I think the author of the lyrics just implies the importance of her position.

@ Evil,
There �s a clue in the line �She is every woman in the world �, indicating all the different jobs and roles a woman might take on, including being on the board (consejo, junta, directorio etc), eg board of governors/trustees/directors... - take your pick, Evila.
PS kudos to Mariethe for figuring out the song that Evilie meant.
