Prettyhead
ZZ Top · Rhythmeen [1996]
Don't send me no bag, don't send me no skag
A pin-headed ho won't do
Don't send me no square without some beehive hair
She got to have her rhythm with blues
Gotta have a prettyhead, gotta have a prettyhead
Gotta have a prettyhead, I said pretty head
Don't send nothin' lame, don't send nothin' tame
A scatter-brained ho won't do
Don't send me no skang, don't send me nothin' rang
I want it hot, righteous and blue
Gotta have a prettyhead, gotta have a prettyhead
Gotta have a prettyhead, I said pretty head
Play the guitar
Drop-dead, big red, icy head, pretty pretty head
Don't send me no twig, don't send nothin' big
With a sideways thing-a-majig
Don't send me no pro, don't send nothin' low
Down and out, holdin' out ho
Gotta have a prettyhead, gotta have a prettyhead
Gotta have a prettyhead, said pretty, pretty head
A pin-headed ho won't do
Don't send me no square without some beehive hair
She got to have her rhythm with blues
Gotta have a prettyhead, gotta have a prettyhead
Gotta have a prettyhead, I said pretty head
Don't send nothin' lame, don't send nothin' tame
A scatter-brained ho won't do
Don't send me no skang, don't send me nothin' rang
I want it hot, righteous and blue
Gotta have a prettyhead, gotta have a prettyhead
Gotta have a prettyhead, I said pretty head
Play the guitar
Drop-dead, big red, icy head, pretty pretty head
Don't send me no twig, don't send nothin' big
With a sideways thing-a-majig
Don't send me no pro, don't send nothin' low
Down and out, holdin' out ho
Gotta have a prettyhead, gotta have a prettyhead
Gotta have a prettyhead, said pretty, pretty head
