Pretty girls oh oh yeah see them walking down pretty street

But you know pretty girls oh oh yeah never wanna talk talk to me

Pretty girls pretty girls pretty girls pretty girls

don't talk to me

Pretty girls pretty girls pretty girls

don't talk to me



Oh yeah I'm getting old and fat and it seems

That everywhere I turn pretty girls just pass me by and stare

right through me



Pretty girls...



Pretty girls oh oh yeah look fresh and bright and pure and so clean

But you know pretty girls oh oh yeah would never associate

with scum like me



Pretty girls...

The song reflects the band's reputation for pushing the boundaries of punk conventions, blending aggressive instrumentation with a distinct, almost manic delivery that defined their era. As a staple of their discography, the recording captures the immediacy and unpolished authenticity that made Screeching Weasel a pivotal force in the development of modern alternative rock and indie punk. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to convey intense emotion through sheer sonic volume and rhythmic drive, cementing its place among the band's most recognizable contributions to music history.
