Lyrics
I've been drifting, drifting Like a ship on the old sea I've been drifting, drifting Won't somebody help me? Won't somebody rescue me? Poor little greenie Snuck into the city Strung out on lasers And slash back blazers Ate all your razors While pulling the waiters Talking 'bout Monroe ... Talking 'bout Monroe And walking on snow white New York's a go-go And everything tastes nice Poor little Greenie Woo-hoo, yeah The Jean Genie Lives on his back The Jean Genie Loves chimney stacks and he's uh Outrageous, he screams and he bawls The Jean Genie, let yourself go, oh Sits like a man But he smiles like a reptile She loves him, she loves him But just for a short while She'll scratch in the sand She won't let go of his hand Says he's a beautician Sells you nutrition Keeps all your dead hair for Making up underwear Poor little Greenie. ooh, yah The Jean Genie Lives on his back The Jean Genie Loves chimney stacks and he's uh Outrageous He screams and he bawls The Jean Genie Let yourself go, oh So simple-minded He can't drive his module He bites on the neon And sleeps in a capsule Loves to be loved On, loves to be loved Jean Genie Jean Genie Loves chimney stacks And he's Outrageous Screams and he bawls Jean Genie Let yourself go-ooh-oh Jean Genie Jean Genie Loves chimney stacks And he's Outrageous Screams and he bawls Jean Genie Let yourself go-ooh-oh Ah, look at the moon! Yeah yeah Whoah no Whoah no Whoah whoah
