CWhy should gay boys get all the good seats?
G(Runnin' around, runnin' around)
CLittle girl, god gave ya two good feets for
G(Runnin' around, runnin' around)F#  
FYour legs are crossed and your shoe is danglin'
CYo!
(???)the shape I'm in
FCome on baby, let's get over the street
GSo goddamn great, I wanna kiss your feet!
Since I was a boy, loved them high-heeled shoes
(Runnin' around, runnin' around)
Just lookin' at you in 'em takes away my blues
(Runnin' around, runnin' around)
I'm right behind ya, flyin' up them stairs
Yo...
What we do up there, I don't care
I be lovin' what I seen from here
You got flesh-colored underwear!
Let's play secretary, let's have a little fun
(Runnin' around, runnin' around)
I'll take dictation, you're the bossy one
(Runnin' around, runnin' around)
On a desk that's just yea-high
Duh.....
You spread your wings just like a butterfly
My god, it's almost made ya deified
I love you, baby, cause you ain't shy
Taste so sweet, feel I been glorified!
