Man, you're gonna be a woman someday, yeah
Man, you're gonna be a woman someday, now
Man, you're gonna be
Man, you're gonna be a woman someday, yeah
Girl, you wanna be a man and you will, yeah
Girl, you wanna be a man and you will, yeah
Girl, you wanna be
Girl, you wanna be a man and you will, yeah
In your overalls
Growing little wings
I've been sleeping while you've been squeaking around
oh, oh, oh, oh
Please don't tell me that you don't smell what you found
oh, oh, oh, oh
Oooh, oooh ooh
Oooh, oooh ooh
Oooh, oooh ooh
Mister, it's dizzy when you rip off your chops, yeah
Butcher, it's meaty when you chip off your roots, yeah
Ooh, lop it off
Oooh, chop it off with scissors or chutes, yeah
Watch your severed foot
Limping through the soot
I've been going where it's been growing alot
oh, oh, oh, oh
It's my business to know what is and what's not
oh, oh, oh, oh
Oooh, oooh ooh
Oooh, oooh ooh
Oooh, oooh ooh
Me, I wanna be an anglepoise lamp, yeah
Us, we wanna be some Anglepoise lamps, then
Us, we wanna be
Us, we wanna be some Anglepoise lamps, then
An gle poise
