I've seen a lot of women, who haven't had much luck
I've seen you looking like you've been run down by a truck
That ain't nice to say, sometimes I guess I'm really hard
But I'm gonna put buckshots in your pants, if you step into my yard, oh
When I watch the police come by and move you on
Well, I sometimes wonder what's beneath the mess you've become
Well, you may have been a pioneer in the trade of women's wear
But all you got was a mop up job washing other people's stairs
I should tell
I should tell
I should tell
Gonna tell the world, you're a dirty little girl
Someone grab that bitch by the ears
Rub her down, scrub her back, turn her inside out
'Cause I bet she, I bet she, I bet she, oh, I bet she
Haven't had a bath in years
Here's my own belief about all the dirty girls
That you have to clean the oyster to find the pearl
And like rags that belong to you, I belong to myself
So don't show up around here till your social workers help
I should tell
I should tell
I should tell
Gonna tell the world, you're a dirty little girl
Someone grab that bitch by the ears
Rub her down, scrub her back and turn her inside out
'Cause I bet she, oh, I bet she, I gotta tell her now, I bet she, oh, I bet she
Haven't had a bath in years
Rub her down
'Cause I bet she, oh, I bet she, oh, now I bet she, oh, I bet she
Haven't had a bath in years
Dirty, dirty, dirty little girl
Dirty, dirty, dirty little girl
Dirty, dirty, dirty little girl
