lyrics

Once upon a time there was a cotton candy slut
Who would’ve been a beauty if she kept her mouth shut
Polyester princess getting’ pretty plenty play
Tore up from the floor up, man and this is what she’d say

“I’m so sexy, I’m so sorry – bargain basement Mata Hari
My proportions epidemic – just a bimbo with a gimmick.”

Has a man she keeps on hand for when she needs a fix
Every time he kisses her he tastes like other chicks
That’s all fine, ‘cause she don’t mind it if he isn’t true
Plenty more where he came from and they all want her too

She’s so super, she’s so swell – cut-throat, cut-rate jezebel
No one’s drone nobody’s fool – grows her own and owns her cool

Boys’ll come and boys’ll go – it doesn’t bother her
Last names are a mystery and first names are a blur
Maybe when she’s done with sin she’ll settle down at last
Says “why they call it ‘sloe gin’ when it works so damned fast?”

She’s a starling she’s a swan – discount whore of Babylon
Tear your heart out by the roots – Magdalene in go-go boots

Holy Mary pray for us
Holy Mary pray for us
Mata Hari pray for us
Mata Hari pray for us
