I want a girl with a mind like a diamond.
I want a girl who knows what’s best.
I want a girl with shoes that cut
and eyes that burn like cigarettes.
I want a girl with the right allocations
who is fast and thorough and sharp as a tack.
She is playing with her jewelry,
She is putting up her hair,
She is touring the facility and picking up slack.
I want a girl with a short skirt and a long jacket.
I want a girl who gets up early.
I want a girl who stays up late.
I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity
who uses a machete to cut through red tape.
With fingernails that shine like justice
and a voice that is dark like tinted glass,
She is fast, thorough, and sharp as a tack.
She is touring the facility and picking up slack.
I want a girl with a short skirt and a long,
long jacket.
I want a girl with a smooth liquidation.
I want a girl with good dividends.
At City Bank we will meet accidentally.
We’ll start to talk when she borrows my pen.
She wants a car with a cup holder armrest.
She wants a car that will get her there.
She is changing her name from Kitty to Karen.
She is trading her MG for a white Chrysler Le Baron.
I want a girl with a short skirt and a long jacket.
