Bm Oh the drones on the corner don't look her in the eye ABmC#mBmA When she comes out to play BmABmC#mBmA And three times now at the Club Chi-Chi they've turned her away BmABmC#mBmA Last week she was the belle of the ball but another week passes BmABmC#mBmA It's time to cast off crutches, scars and pebble glasses
Chorus: GE She's got everything a girl might need, she's a tribal animal, yes indeed AmF But she hasn't got a bone through her nose, through her nose E Hasn't got a bone through her nose AmF She hasn't got a bone through her nose, through her nose E She hasn't got a bone through her nose Hasn't got a bone through her nose, through her nose She hasn't got a bone through her nose
Oh she gets her suits from a personal friend, Coco the clown She got dustman's jacket, inside out, it's a party gown If it's buffoons, she's got buffoons, if it's tat she got tat She got hoochie coochie Gucci and a pom-pom hat
Chorus
Well, her ma writes cook books, she wrote one once, and it sold one or two Her pa's in the city, he's so witty, he calls it the zoo Her boyfriend plays in Scritti Politti, Aunt Sally's brown bread In a few more years she can marry some fool and knock it on the head
