Lyrics

Dirty Little Girl

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I've seen a lot of women who haven't had much luck

I've seen you looking like you've been run down by a truck

That ain't nice to say sometimes I guess I'm really hard

But I'm gonna put buckshot in your pants if you step into my yard

When I watch the police come by and move you on

Well, I sometimes wonder what's beneath the mess you've become

Well, you may have been a pioneer in the trade of women's wear

But all you got was a mop-up job washing other people's stairs

I should tell (I should tell)

I should tell (I should tell)

I should tell (I should tell)

Oh! (Oh!)

I'm gonna tell the world you're a dirty little girl

Someone grab that bitch by the ears

Rub her down, scrub her back, and turn her inside out

'Cause I bet she, I bet she

I bet she, oh, I bet she hasn't had a bath in a year

Here's my own belief about all the dirty girls

That you have to clean the oyster to find the pearl

And like rags that belong to you, I belong to myself

So don't show up around here till your social worker's helped

I should tell (I should tell)

I should tell (I should tell)

I should tell (I should tell)

Oh! (Oh!)

I'm gonna tell the world you're a dirty little girl

Someone grab that bitch by the ears

Rub her down, scrub her back, and turn her inside out

'Cause I bet she, oh, I bet she, let me tell you now

I bet she, oh, I bet she hasn't had a bath in a year

Oh ho

Ah ho!

'Cause I bet she, oh, I bet she

I bet she, oh, I bet she hasn't had a bath in a year

Dirty little girl (girl)

Oh ho (ohh ho)

Dirty little girl (girl)

Dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty little girl (girl)

Dirty, dirty, dirty little girl (girl)

Dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty little girl (girl)

Girl, girl, girl, dirty, dirty little girl (girl)

Oh, oh, dirty, dirty little girl (girl)

Girl, girl, girl, dirty, dirty little girl
