Pretty Girls, lyric by Joe Jackson

from the songs album Look Sharp!

Here she comes just a-walk just just a-walkin' down the street
Singin' down do be do do wop a do do wop
Singin' down do be do do wop a do do wop

See the pretty pretty pretty girls in the street
Down do be do do wop a do do wop a do do wop
See them walkin' with their pretty shoes on their feet
Down do be do do wop a do do wop a do do wop
Down do be do do wop a do do wop a do do wop

I took a walk round the market down town
Taking it easy just to see what i could find
I found the girls there, long legs and blond hair
All getting set to make a mess out of my mind

Hey! eyes left!

See the pretty pretty pretty girls in the street
Down do be do do wop a do do wop a do do wop
See them walkin' with their pretty shoes on their feet
Down do be do do wop a do do wop a do do wop
Down do be do do wop a do do wop a do do wop

I got my heart burnt, you know where i hurt
They say the miniskirt is coming back in style
I say it's not fair but what do they care
When you've got power then you use it for a while

Hey! eyes right!

See the pretty pretty pretty girls in the street
Down do be do do wop a do do wop a do do wop
See them walkin' with their pretty shoes on their feet
Down do be do do wop a do do wop a do do wop
Down do be do do wop a do do wop a do do wop

God, if you're up there, listen to my prayer
In future man should have a different design
Give him a switch so he can turn off his libido now
Give him a tranquilizer built into his mind

Hey! eyes right!

See the pretty pretty pretty girls in the street
Down do be do do wop a do do wop a do do wop
See them walkin' with their pretty shoes on their feet
Down do be do do wop a do do wop a do do wop
Down do be do do wop a do do wop a do do wop

Don't talk to me about women's liberation
They already got their right just where it hurts
Now here she comes just a-walk just a-walkin' down the street
Singin' down do be do do wop a do do wop
Singin' down do be do do wop a do do wop

See the pretty pretty pretty girls in the street
Down do be do do wop a do do wop a do do wop
See them walkin' with their pretty shoes on their feet
Down do be do do wop a do do wop a do do wop
Down do be do do wop a do do wop a do do wop
