Daisy, oh you're so shapely Open your eyes up, if you wise up you could be a lady Yeah, yeah
[ VERSE 1 ] Let's take this from the top I wanna talk about a girl who's been around the block She seems like a sweet chick, she's a beatnik Or so I heard from other cats that she sleeps with She'll hold a conversation light as a twig With a song and dance about likin to live And before you know it she slipped out of the party To paint the town with another Goodtime Charlie She likes diamonds and cashmere But she'll settle for a dinner and cab fare Back in school she was a bad Betty Who had to go steady with Chad, Derrick and Eddy Now she's graduated to a home-wrecker Who never regrets, so save the lecture You're stylish and cavalier But sweetie, you need to take a look in the mirror
Daisy, oh you're so shapely Open your eyes up, if you wise up you could be a lady Yeah, yeah She's danger and you can't save her So call the reverend, why in heaven can't you be a lady? Yeah yeah
Let's take this from the top Let's take this from the top
[ VERSE 2 ] She seems straight off a billboard With the looks girls kill for But she swings like Happy Gilmore I know one cat claimin in love While she runs around and drags his name in the mud Impersonating the good girl like charades Sold your soul, she's as cold as the Ice Capade You'll be in a dump feelin stabbed in the back While she's puffin on a cigarette havin a laugh Buddy, you barked up the wrong tree So sing a new song and keep it on key And don't let the freak crawl back on your love seat Say, "Don't touch me, please move your butt cheek" She's a tramp, you can ask Ol' Blue Eyes Or Prince, who said act your age not your shoe size Girls, if you don't wanna be lonely Well, show a little class quick fast, so you won't be
Daisy, oh you're so shapely Open your eyes up, if you wise up you could be a lady Yeah, yeah She's danger and you can't save her So call the reverend, why in heaven can't you be a lady? Yeah yeah
