Lyrics

Gonna get me a girlfriend, do whatever she says
Gonna get me a girlfriend, do whatever she says
And even if I feel like her manager
Or her passenger, or her furniture
Gonna get me a friend and do whatever she says

Gonna get me a girlfriend, ooh, before I get lost
Gonna get me a girlfriend, ooh, whatever the cost
Even if she’s an alcoholic
Or an impossible genius like Jackson Pollock
Gonna get me a girlfriend, do whatever she says

Gonna get it together, forever, with my swan
Gonna get it together, forever, like we’re swans
I don’t care if she’s a nun or a bawd
Either way’s the way that pleases the Lord
Get me a girlfriend and do whatever she does, or does not want

I’ll be lucky to get me one undiseased and poor
I’ll be lucky to get me one what am filthy and rich
’Cause you can’t stay liquid all your life
And a girlfriend helps to solidify
Get me a girlfriend, do whatever she says

If she breaks my heart I know what to do, I’ll be fine
Gonna tell her story better than she’s gonna tell mine
’Cause What has How, and Where has When
But Why is lonely and without a friend
Get me a girlfriend, do whatever she says
