She keeps the Moët & Chandon
In her pretty cabinet
"Let them eat cake," she says
Just like Marie Antoinette
A built-in remedy for Khrushchev and Kennedy
At any time, an invitation you can't decline
Caviar and cigarettes
Well-versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice
She's a killer queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind (anytime)
Ooh, recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation, she spoke just like a baroness
Met a man from China
Went down to Geisha Minah (killer)
Then again incidentally (killer)
If you're that way inclined (she's a killer queen)
Perfume came naturally from Paris (naturally)
For cars, she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise
She's a killer queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind (anytime)
Drop of a hat, she's as willing as
Playful as a pussycat
Then momentarily out of action
Temporarily out of gas
To absolutely drive (drive you wild, wild)
She's out to get you
She's a killer queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind (anytime)
Ooh, recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite (wanna try?)
You wanna try?
