Lyrics for The Jean Genie

Small Jean Genie Snuck off to the city Strung out on lasers And slash back blazers And ate all your razors While pullin' the waiters And talking 'bout Monroe And walkin' on Snow White New York's a go-go And everything tastes right Poor little Greenie Hoo-ooo Get back on it Jean Genie lives on his back The Jean Genie loves chimney slacks He's outrageous (Jean Genie) He screams and he bawls The Jean Genie let yourself go, whoa Sits like a man But he smiles like a reptile She love him, she love him But just for a short while She scratch in the sand Won't let go his hand He says he's a beautician And sells you nutrition And keeps all your dead hair For making up underwear Poor little Greenie Hoo-ooo Jean Genie lives on his back The Jean Genie loves chimney slacks He's outrageous (Jean Genie) He screams and he bawls The Jean Genie let yourself go, ohh So simple minded He can't drive his module He bites on the neon And sleeps in a capsule Loves to be loved Loves to be loved Hoo-ooo Hoo-ooo Owww Jean Genie lives on his back The Jean Genie loves chimney slacks He's outrageous (Jean Genie) He screams and he bawls The Jean Genie let yourself go, whoa Go, go Jean Genie lives on his back The Jean Genie loves chimney slacks He's outrageous (Jean Genie) He screams and he bawls The Jean Genie let yourself go, whoa Go, go-go
