CI'll pick you up, just Ftell me when you Cland
CIt's raining in LA, and Geveryone's gone mad
I'd love to Amtake you to the Gdesert, but Cyou hate makin' Fplans

CThe ocean's just a trinket, Ga gift from me to you
AmI wanna sing your Gpraises, cos Cyou've been feeling Fblue
CBut all my songs are Gsounding out of Ctune
[Chorus]
You're a Amdrag queen's dress
You're a Emplastic knife
You're Fpretty dangerous and so Guntrue
