Selfish Gene

Lyrics

Sweet little baby from the hills somewhere
 Here's a pretty lovebud for your hair
 Itty bitty girl, sippin? Grenadine
 Look who's talking to selfish Gene
 There's a place way down in Brentwood
 Out to Georgio's we all g'wine
 The maitre 'd's gonna take care of everything
 He? s a personal friend of mine, what a prize you are?
 Honey don? t you scratch my new car
 Selfish Gene, he? s one in a million
 A safe harbor in every storm
 Many call but few are chosen
 Hey, pretty baby, let? s have a little fun
 The Pinot is flowing and the night? s still young
 Over and above and behind and between
 Make a little party for selfish Gene
 Steady girl, let me grab on your wig hat
 Down in the corn crib we shall go
 No brains, no regrets, no worries
 Hidey hi, hidey hey, hidey ho, kundalini now
 Baby, let me show you how
 Selfish Gene, don? t lick no Manolos
 He don? t argue, he don? t ask twice
 Selfish Gene, don? t serve two masters
 (Why)
 Must every time I turn my ship around?
 Some bastard come and knock my skyline down
 I guess that? s everything I suppose
 The play date? s over and the case is closed
 Tell me momma that I didn? t do right
 To have a little something on amateur night
 I feel sure that we? ll meet again sometime
 Don? t see why and I don? t know when
 Maybe I? ll catch you down at the daily
 If you haven? t moved on by then
 Take a dollar from the drawer
 Daddy? s got a whole lot more
 Selfish Gene needs clarity and closure
 This is his house and that? s your cab
 You need a hug, now don? t be bashful
 Do yourself and your friend a favor
 You don? t bargain with selfish Gene
 Selfish Gene, don? t take no prisoners
