[Intro]
E E E A
E A E A x1
[Verse 1]
E A E A
A small Jean Genie snuck off to the city
E A E A
Strung out on lasers and slash back blazers and
E A E A
Ate all your razors while pulling the waiters
E A E A
Talking 'bout Monroe and walking on Snow White
E A E A
New York's a go-go, and everything tastes nice
E A
Poor little Greenie

E A E A E B
("Get back one")
[Chorus]
B Bsus4
The Jean Genie lives on his back
B Bsus4
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks(The Jean Genie)
B Bsus4
He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls
B Bsus4
The Jean Genie, let yourself go

E A E A
[Verse 2]
E A E A
Sits like a man, but he smiles like a reptile
E A E A
She loves him, she loves him, but just for a short while
E A E A
She'll scratch in the sand, won't let go his hand
E A E A
He says he's a beautician and sells you nutrition
E A E A
And keeps all your dead hair for making up underwear
E A
Poor little Greenie
[Chorus]
B Bsus4
The Jean Genie lives on his back
B Bsus4
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks(The Jean Genie)
B Bsus4
He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls
B Bsus4
The Jean Genie, let yourself go

[Bridge]
E A E A
He's so simple minded, he can't drive his module
E A E A E A
He bites on the neon and sleeps in the capsule
E A E A
Loves to be loved
A
Loves to be loved
