I  got a pair of shoes  I swear that somebody gave  me
My  mama thinks I look pretty fruity  but in jeans I feel  rocky
I  dont wear nothing not too fussy  or neat. I  just want something babe Im

Hey  cmon baby lets get on down t the  boutique. Lets bring back something
 thats a funky  but  a chic.
Ill  get down in any neighborhood,  I swear that my friends would take  me.
 But the people  there are itchin to bitch.  Oh Lord I swear theyre gonna
 break me. (so dont take  me)
