INTRO (xylophone also plays throughout the song):
Girls - all I real-ly want is girls
And in the mor-ning it's girls
Cause in the eve-ning it's girls
I like the way that they walk
And it's chill to hear them talk
And I can al-ways make them smile
From White Cast-le to the Nile
Back in the day
There was this girl a-round the way
She liked by home-piece M. C. A.
He said he would not give her play
I asked him, "Please?" He said, "You may."
Her pants were tight and that's O-kay
If she would dance, I would D. J.
We took a walk down to the bay
I hope she'll say,
"Hey me and you should hit the hay!"
I asked her out, she said, "No way!"
I should have prob'-bly guessed her gay
So I broke North with no de-lay
I heard she moved real far a-way
That was two years a-go this May
I seen her just the oth--er day
Jock-in' Mike D. to my dis-may
Girls - to do the dish-es
Girls - to clean up my room
Girls - to do the laun-dry
Girls - and in the bath-room
Girls - that's all I real-ly want is girls
Two at a time - I want girls
With new wave hair-dos - I want girls
I ought to whip out my:
girls, girls, girls, girls, girls!
