Short Skirt Long Jacket - Lyrics by Cake


Lyrics
I want a girl with a mind like a diamond
I want a girl who knows what's best
I want a girl with shoes that cut

And eyes that burn like cigarettes

I want a girl with the right allocations

Who's fast and thorough

And sharp as a tack

She's playing with her jewelry

She's putting up her hair

She's touring the facility

And picking up slack

I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnng jacket......

I want a girl who gets up early
I want a girl who stays up late
I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity

Who used a machedy to cut through red tape

With fingernails that shine like justice

And a voice that is dark like tinted glass


She is fast and thorough
And sharp as a tack

She's touring the facility

And picking up slack

I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnnng.... lonnng jacket

I want a girl with a smooth liquidation
I want a girl with good dividends

And at the city bank we will meet accidentally

We'll start to talk when she borrows my pen


She wants a car with a cupholder arm rest

She wants a car that will get her there

She's changing her name from Kitty to Karen

She's trading her MG for a white Chrystler Laberan

I want a girl with a short skirt and a lonnnnggggggggg jacket
