[Bbm] [A] [Bb]
[Eb] [Bb]
[A] [Bb]
Long as I wear the perfume you wear, smell like turnip greens.
[D] And every time I kiss you child, [Gm] it tastes like a pork and beans.
[Eb] And even [Am] though [Abm]
you're [Eb] wearing those [G] [Eb] city-flat-a-high [B] [Bb] heels,
I can tell by your [Fm] giant step you've been [Bb] walking through the cotton [Db] fields.
[D] [Eb] [F]
Oh, [Bbm] [F] [Eb]
you're so [A] [Eb] [G] dumb.
[E]
[Eb] [Ab]
[Eb] [Bb] Your shoes are green, you're dressed in red, and your wig I had is powder blue.
But underneath all that mess, it's the same old vestal dupe.
[Eb] You're sitting there in that fancy chair, breaking, jumping like a movie star.
[Cm] When [B] you're out [Bb] to be seen on a curtsy, white lightning out of a jelly [Eb] jar.
[F]
Oh, [Eb]
you're so [Ab] [A] [Eb] [G] dumb.
[Ab]
[Eb] [Ab] Home, [Bb] girl.
Dipples in [Eb] your [Fm] fridge-head [Gm] jeans and [Bb] dimples in your knees.
You walk by [Fm] and baby, [Bb] I might [Fm] know [Bb] your dreams.
[Eb] You tell me you're from New York, baby, but I know you from way down south.
[Bb] Cause I can hear a Mississippi mama every time you open up your mouth.
[F] Oh,
[Bb] [F] [Eb] you're so
[Gm] dumb.
[Db] [Bb]
