Walter Becker - Selfish Gene lyrics

Sweet little baby from the hills somewhere Here's a pretty lovebud for your hair Itty bitty girl sippin' Grenadine Look who's talking to Selfish Gene There's a place way down in Brentwood Out to Georgio's we all g'wine The maître ‘d's gonna take care of everything He's a personal friend of mine What a prize you are Honey don't you scratch my new car Selfish Gene he's one in a million A safe harbor in every storm Many call but few are chosen Hey pretty baby let's have a little fun The Pinot is flowing and the night's still young Over and above and behind and between Make a little party for Selfish Gene Steady girl let me grab on your wig hat Down in the corncrib we shall go No brains no regrets no worries Hidey hi hidey hey hidey ho Kundalini now! Baby let me show you how Selfish Gene don't lick no Manolos He don't argue — he don't ask twice Selfish Gene don't serve two masters Why Must every time I turn my ship around Some ba*tard come and knock my skyline down I guess that's everything I suppose The playdate's over and the case is closed Tell me momma that I didn't do right To have a little something on Amateur Night I feel sure that we'll meet again sometime Don't see why and I don't know when Maybe I'll catch you down at the daily If you haven't moved on by then Take a dollar from the drawer Daddy's got a whole lot more Selfish Gene needs clarity and closure This is his house and that's your cab You need a hug — now don't be bashful Do yourself and your friend a favor You don't bargain with Selfish Gene Selfish Gene don't take no prisoners
