Hey now extra extra have you read about me
They say I'm vulgar
And some people can do without me
Well all I can say is it's such a shame
Why do they blame me for what I am?
Hey now
Extra extra do you understand me
Well if you don't don't reprimand me
Well I wish I could tell it to you another way
But I'm telling you the only way that I know how
Do you dig it
Extra extra have you read about me
Well they I stick out my tongue
Quite lecherously
Well I really don't know what they're talkin about
I just can't seem to keep my tongue in my mouth
That's all folk
Extra extra do you understand me
Well if you don't how can you like me
Well all I can say is it's such a shame
It really is a pity that you can't get into me
I don't care
Hey now
Do you know where I'm going to?
Hey now
Well you're hipper than me if you say that you do
It ain't nothin but some music
It ain't nothin but some fun
And if I make you up tight
That's 'cause you don't know where I'm coming from
And ain't nothin that heavy
Oh such a shame
Ooh that sleazy fame
Oh isn't she a shame
Maybe her mother her mother is to blame
Dear mother
Oh ah mmm what a trashy dame
Oh life is such a shame
You swing high
You swing low here I go again
