Swimsuit Issue
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'm just here for dictation - I don't wanna be a sensation
Bein' on Sixty Minutes - was it worth your fifteen minutes?
Don't touch my breast - I'm just working at my desk
Don't put me to the test - I'm just doing my best
Shopping at maxfields - power for you to wield
Dreams of going to the Grammies - `till you poked me with your whammy
You spined the disc - now you're moving your wrist
I'm just from Encino - why are you so meano
I'm just here for dictation - and not your summer vacation
You really like to shmooze - well now you're on the news
I'm from Sherman Oaks - just a wheel with spokes
But I ain't giving you headace - in a Sunset bungalow
Roshumba, Judith, Paulina, Cathy, Vendella, Naomi,
Ashley, Angie, Stacey, Gail
