Say, girl, what's happening, baby?
You know you're sitting on a goldmine
You need to follow me
Uh, you could make lots of money
And of course I could rest and dress
And read the funnies

Mary chose a pimp, he put her on the street
It was no accident, she was found in a hotel suite
Face down in the floor, lying in her underwear
No one even cried and no one even seemed to care

That Mary had a pimp, ooh, yeah
Mary had a P. I. M. P. , I, I, I wanna tell you
Mary had a pimp, hey, he was a real pimp
Mary had a P. I. M. P

And her mama said, Mary's going crazy
Mary's gone out of her mind
Didn't she know the price she had to pay
Was high to be a hoe
And didn't she know, she is a pimper's party
She is a pimp's delight
Now she's gone and he's still left to carry on
It's so wrong, so wrong

P. I. M. P. , pimp, the simp!
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, pimp simping)

Uh, excuse me baby, but my name is Don Wonder
And I wonder if I could buy you a drink
'Cause I got something I'd like to run on you

Mary chose a pimp
She changed her name and moved out west
All her money went
On his wardrobe and nothing less
She even bought his house
While she lived in the motel room
Her days were spent alone
With the comfort of a silver spoon

Mary had a pimp, ooh, yeah
Mary had a P. I. M. P. , I, I, I wanna tell you
Mary had a pimp, she, she had a real pimp
Mary had a P. I. M. P. , mm

And her mama said, Mary's going crazy
Mary's gone out of her mind
Didn't she know the price she had to pay
Was high to be a hoe
And didn't she know
Mary's going nuts out in the rain
Selling her body for pain
Giving all her money
To some chump so he can dress funny

P. I. M. P. , pimp, the simp!
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

And her mama said, Mary's going crazy
Mary's gone out of her mind
Didn't she know the price she had to pay
Was high to be a hoe
Horns, blow!

P. I. M. P. , pimp, the simp!
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, pimp simping)

You pimp, you simp, you're on the street
Running your game on all the girls you meet
Fake diamonds on your fingers and Cadillac cars
Trying to catch a girl at a local bar
So you catch her and you school her and you teach her the game
Next thing you know, the girl has going insane
Now she's lost at the cost of the trick she's turned
She's just another hoe who just been burned

Mary had a pimp, ooh, yeah
Mary had a P. I. M. P. , I, I, I wanna tell you
Mary had a pimp, hey, she had a real pimp
Mary had a P. I. M. P. , I, I, I wanna tell you

Mary had a pimp, tell you, yeah, she had a real pimp
Mary had a P. I. M. P. , yeah, she had a pimp
Mary had a pimp, she had a real live pimp
Mary had a P. I. M. P. , now she's dead and gone

Mary had a pimp, I'm mad as hell, I'm mad as hell about it
Mary had a P. I. M. P. , the pimp's still here to carry on
Mary had a pimp
