Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A small Jean Genie snuck off to the city
Strung out on lasers and slash back blazers
And ate all your razors while pulling the waiters
And talking 'bout Monroe and walking on Snow White
New York's a go-go, and everything tastes nice
Poor little Greenie, ooh
[Verse 2]
(Get back on it)
Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls (Jean Genie)
The Jean Genie, let yourself go, whoa
[Verse 3]
Sits like a man, but he smiles like a reptile
She love him, she love him but just for a short while
She'll scratch in the sand, won't let go of his hand
He says he's a beautician and sells you nutrition
Keeps all of your dead hair for making up underwear
Poor little Greenie, ooh
[Verse 4]
The Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls (Jean Genie)
The Jean Genie, let yourself go, whoa
[Verse 5]
So simpleminded, he can't drive his module
He bites on the neon and sleeps in a capsule
He loves to be loved
He loves to be loved
[Verse 6]
Oh, the Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls (Jean Genie)
The Jean Genie, let yourself go, whoa
[Verse 7]
Go
Go
[Verse 8]
Jean Genie lives on his back
The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks
He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls (Jean Genie)
The Jean Genie, let yourself go, whoa
Go
Go, go
