Dirty Little Girl

Elton John · Goodbye Yellow Brick Road [1973]

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



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'm 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, I bet she, I bet she

Oh, I bet she hasn'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 worker's helped



I'm 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, let me tell you now, I bet she

Oh, I bet she hasn't had a bath in a year



I bet she, oh, I bet she, oh, I bet she

Oh, I bet she hasn't had a bath in a year



Dirty little girl

Dirty little girl

Dirty, dirty, dirty..., dirty little girl

Dirty, dirty, dirty..., dirty little girl

Dirty, dirty, dirty..., dirty little girl, girl...

Dirty, dirty, dirty..., dirty little girl

Dirty, dirty, dirty..., dirty little girl, girl....
