Beautiful Red Dress |
| Well I was down at the Zig Zag |
| That’s the Zig Zag Bar & Grill |
| And everybody was talking at once |
| And it was getting really shrill |
| And I’ve been around the block |
| But I don’t care I’m on a roll — I’m on a wild ride |
| 'Cause the moon is full and look out baby — |
| I’m at high tide |
| I’ve got a beautiful red dress |
| And you’d look really good standing beside it. |
| I’ve got some beautiful new red shoes |
| And they look so fine |
| I’ve got a hundred and five fever |
| And it’s high tide |
| Well just the other day I won the lottery |
| I mean lots of money |
| I got so excited I ran into my place and i said: |
| HEY! |
| Is anybody home? |
| Nobody answered but I guess that’s not too weird |
| Since I live alone |
| I’ve got a beautiful red dress |
| And you’d look really good standing beside it. |
| Girls? |
| We can take it And if we can’t we’re gonna fake it |
| We’re gonna save ourselves, save ourselves |
| We’re gonna make it |
| And if we don’t we’re gonna take it |
| We’re gonna save ourselves, save ourselves |
| Well they say women shouldn’t be the president |
| 'Cause we go crazy from time to time |
| Well push my button baby here I come |
| Yeah look out baby I’m at high tide |
| I’ve got a beautiful red dress |
| And you’d look really good standing beside it. |
| I’ve got a little jug of red sangria wine |
| And we could take little sips from time to time |
| I’ve got some bright red drop dead lips |
| I’ve got a little red card and mechanical hips |
| I’ve got a hundred and five fever!!! |
| OK! |
| OK! |
| Hold it! |
| I just want to say something |
| You know, for every dollar a man makes |
| A woman makes 63 cents |
| Now, fifty years ago that was 62 cents |
| So, with that kind of luck |
| It’ll be the year 3,888 |
| Before we make a buck |
| But hey, girls? |
| We can take it |
| And if we can’t we’re gonna fake it |
| We’re gonna save ourselves, save ourselves |
| (Yeah tell it to the judge) |
| We’re gonna make it |
| And if we don’t we’re gonna take it |
| We’re gonna save ourselves, save ourselves |
| We’ve got a fever of a hundred and five |
| And look baby It’s high tide |
| Well I could just go on and on and on… |
| But tonight I’ve got a headache |
