The jean genie

A small Jean Genie snuck off to the city
Strung out on lasers and slash-back blazers,
And ate all your razors while pulling the waiters.
Talkin´ bout Monroe and walking on Snow White,
New York´s a go-go and everything tastes nice.
Poor little Greenie.
{Refrain:}
The Jean Genie lives on his back,
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks.
He´s outrageous, he screams and he bawls
Jean Genie let yourself go!
Sits like a man but he smiles like a reptile
She loves him, she loves him but just for a short while
She´ll scratch in the sand, won´t let go his hand;
He says he´s a beautician and sells you nutrition,
And keeps all your dead hair for making up underwear.
Poor little Greenie.
{au Refrain}
He´s so simple minded he can´t drive his module,
He bites on the neon and sleeps in the capsule.
Loves to be loved,
Loves to be loved.
